This is something I don't understand. Occasionally you hear about people volunteering in a soup kitchen that feeds homeless people.
Why? Why can't they make the homeless people do the work? I don't get it.

Most of them cannot. It's really a sad place. Although, at the soup kitchen I volunteered at the most, one of the "volunteers" was one of the homeless. So, I guess he did.thibodeaux wrote:Hell no. They can cook their own damn soup.
You should volunteer sometime and see. Spend a few nights at a homeless shelter too, while you're at it.
Every time people talk about cutting out welfare or similar programs, I think of the people I met at the homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and other aid places I volunteered. Most of these people have nothing, in a way that almost none of us see daily.
It's not me, it's someone else.
