Breakfast time

This morning we served breakfast at the Saint Vincent de Paul Society on 2nd Ave. SATS was represented by Ben, Andrea and me, and three sisters were also there to help out: Melissa, Rachel and Caroline. We did dishes, filled bowls with cereal, dished out porridge, and made copious amounts of toast. After most of the people had eaten breakfast, I got to play 2 games of Scrabble with some older men who ate there. I had a great time, even though I didn't win either games. Caroline also played a game of crib with a couple of other guys. Volunteering at St. Vincent's is always a lot of fun, and it really isn't hard work at all. It's really nice to be able to connect with people from different walks of life. It can be very easy to live in a bubble. St. Vincent's expands/ breaks that bubble.
