I live in a primarily white, middle-to-upperclass neighborhood. Many of my friends that go to public school are sheltered and uncultured, despite the vibrant city of Hartford filled with diverse food, people and music right next door. To close this gap I've volunteered at the House of Bread, a soup kitchen affiliated with my church St. Patrick St. Anthony, as well as with Journey Home, an organization that works to return the homeless to stable living spaces and help with moving. |
