Feeding the Homeless in nola

We people tend to take things for granted.

Chances are, you are reading this in an air-conditioned room. Think though.. isn't that quite lucky?

It is. And we should strive to give back.

Today I was lucky enough to join a "feed the homeless" program sponsored by an inner-city mosque.

5 years after Katrina, thousands of people still lack basic human amenities - food, shelter, proper medicine. From the dark shadows of an interstate ramp to abandoned, demolished buildings, impoverished folk struggle to eke out a living.

If you get a free weekend, consider joining a soup kitchen or bringing a few homemade meals to feed someone. It will make both of you feel good.
