Skip-A-Meal For Clara

 

Do you know what hunger feels like? Do you know that painful, empty, grumbling feeling in your stomach? That dizzy feeling that comes from skipping a meal?

One thing that continues to impress me is how Clara White treats its clients with dignity and respect. I have had several negative experiences with homeless shelters and soup kitchens in the past, and have never seen an organization that cares as deeply for those it serves as does Clara White.
