Thursday Recap

This morning we volunteered at the DC Central Kitchen. We cut up vegetables, chicken, and sausage to be used to feed the homeless later in the day. After we finished we enjoyed lunch with the staff and came back to the church to get ready for our next adventure. Our city host Mackenzie wanted us to really understand what it means to be homeless in Washington DC. She gave us each $2 and told us to go find dinner in the city. We would be on the streets for a couple hours and had to look for a place where we would sleep if we were really homeless. We ended up at Union Station where we were able to buy some tacos with our money. Outside Union Station were a lot of homeless people that we felt called to help. We helped 6 people but still wanted to help more people so we went to Walgreens and bought food and some toiletries. In the end we helped at least 15 people!
