Day 5 Family Promise Huan
Today was especially exciting because the group and I were able to do something new. When we got there, we started on some cleaning. We cleaned doorknobs and other regularly hand touched things. We got to bake a cake for the families there and later on we got to make a whole pot of mac n' cheese.
Something that I have learned from volunteering at Family Promise is that 40% of homeless people are children. The stereotypical type of homeless person that I pictured: a dirty, drunk male, living under bridge is the not the majority all homeless people.
