Wednesday Night Habit

Every Wednesday since the beginning of March, I have been feeding homeless people at the only shelter in my county.

It has been a wonderful experience.

I started doing it because I needed to do a service-learning project for my Honors Lit class, but it has become so much more.
I look forward to feeding hungry people every week. So often, it feels like people feel they need to repay every kindness that heads their way; it's a wonderful feeling to help people who cannot repay me.

I encourage everyone to do it at least once in their lives. (And don't necessarily wait until the holiday season; that's when "everyone" helps.)
