Learned
a few things today…you CAN have TOO many with you passing out lunches. We had a surprise family in addition to two
other families come with us today which was awesome, but it was a different
experience. We had many refuse a lunch
(perhaps we were intimidating as a large group?) and I felt like we missed out
on the personal aspect. Hopefully we can
still have everyone serve, just in smaller doses. :)
UPDATE (January 2013): I think that there is a way to make it work if there are a lot of volunteers, it just looks different than the typical week of walking around passing the lunches out. At this point (going on the 8th month), now that relationships have been created, I think my friends downtown appreciate when there are more volunteers showing up for them. I think it was just too intimidating in the beginning before those friendships had been formed.
