Hungry Minds

I feel that the purpose of this article is to show that everyone has a story to tell. Through the church writing workshop this was possible. I feel that the writer of this article could and should have cut his story in half. The same points could have been made. It was nice to read about all of the volunteers and the soup kitchen. I cannot believe they serve as many meals as they do. Starting with only serving 35 meals, the kitchen now needs over 2 million dollars to cover the costs of food they need each year. (The article said it take $10,000 to run the kitchen each day!)

I like the idea of having the writing workshop. I do think it might be one of the last things a homeless person might consider doing, but I feel that their stories will be some of the most interesting. Those with personal experience can be great writers. I bet these workshops served as a stress reliever and as therapy for some people.

I also loved to hear about the man who had his article published in News Street.

I also enjoyed reading about how the year's work is typed up and put into a booklet for the church members to read. I think this process gives the writer's initiative to know what they are doing is worth while.
