The Truths and Trials of Our Daily Bread

As some of you may know, I have started volunteering at Our Daily Bread, the largest soup kitchen in Maryland that happens to be located near my house. Every Tuesday, for the past two weeks and hopefully every week in the future I am in Baltimore, I work there from 9 am - 12:45 pm.

I have started publishing my experiences and observations from this on another website run by the same people. Below is the link to this. Enjoy!
