[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 687543, member: 1550"] I volunteered a homeless shelter. Most were men who did not disclose much. Almost all were addicts who had burned all their bridges. We were glad to be able to provide a mattress and a wonderful home cooked meal done by church ladies. We talked to them if they felt like it. Most played cards with one another and enjoyed the night because they had to leave by 6am. We did send sack lunches with them. Our church did this once a week then gave the people train vouchers to get to next nights church. Was heart breaking at times. We had social workers and employment helpers they could make appointments with, but most never showed. [/QUOTE]
