I learned that many people who you won't consider in need of help really do. there were a few homeless people who reminded me of my parents and it made me a bit emotional to think of them like that. Also helps humanise the homeless whom most people just ignore.

It's definitely a really good way of giving to the people, and it helps facilitate discussion too. People were milling around and talking to us while we served, and everyone knew we were commies and were curious to know more.
