A friend invited us to help serve dinner at Tent City. A number of tents were set up for the homeless in the area.

I took my two boys with me. They were 9 and 5 at the time. They had a lot of questions because this whole thing challenged their common ideas about how people lived in the world.

“Why don't they have homes?”

“Why don't they get food the way we do?”

We talked through the reasons that people ended up in this type of situation and the importance of creating a safety net for them. I explained that often times, the only safety net is other people who are willing to share some of their time and resources.

The people we served ranged in age from the young to the elderly. Many of them were missing teeth or had dirty clothes. To my surprise, they were quite thankful that I had brought the boys Many said how fun it was to have active joyful children-around.
