         When I got out of my car and started to walk towards the kitchen where I would be serving, the smell of cigarettes hit my nose. When I walked inside I shut the old door behind me because it doesn't shut by itself. Right as I walked in I saw the same person who is always leaning against the door frame and he was wearing the same old clothes as before, a sweat shirt and a battered t-shirt. I went over Zig and asked him what we were serving. He told me that it was fried chicken, rice, peas and carrots. The people served themselves cranberry sauce and chocolate pudding. As I was, serving people would ask for something different, like no peas or no carrots, also most of the people wanted to pick out their piece of chicken because the person next to them might be getting more than them. When it was getting close to closing time, some of the people came up and asked if there was any extra food left, and if there was if they could have it. When I was serving I felt like I was helping people get a meal. On the other side of the matter I thought that some people should not have been there. Felt this because they had things that the other people did not have like big purses. At the end of the meal it felt good to be volunteering at the warm shelter.
