Cat Cora is known for her humanitarianism. She is the President and founder of Chefs for Humanity, which is an organization modeled after Doctors without Border. This non-profit organization gathers the culinary community to raise funds and provide resources for emergencies and hunger-related causes.

"In the article “When There’s No School Lunch in St. Louis, food vans help fill the gap” written by Allison Colburn, the central idea was how a food van (or business) drives to different homes every day delivering free meals during the summer, Monday-Friday. In this business they will go from house to house spending from 20-30 minutes. This information is stated in the 8th paragraph, “Each van makes 11 stops Monday through Friday and spends about 20 to 30 minutes at each location.” The food van will deliver meals to children that would normally eat food at school but now that it is summer, they are not able to. My next supporting detail is, “The summer program, now in its sixth year, has grown from providing 5,000 meals in 2012, Executive

“My mother has been a widow since December, 2009. After the loss of her husband, her health began to decline and she became less and less able to solely provide for herself….It was at this time that the ‘Meals on Wheels’ program became such a blessing to my mother and gave our family the reassurance we needed that mother would be provided with a healthy, nutritious meal on a regular basis.

Eric Klinenberg conducted an ethnographic study on the factors facilitating the alarming excess death event occurring in Chicago in July 1995. He discusses four factors accounting for the massive death toll. first is an increase in both the number and proportion of people living alone, which was especially concerning in the subgroup of seniors who no longer had social networks. Second was the fear of crime as an anxiety that is only eased through isolation. Third is the degradation and fortification of urban space, causing a lower amount of attractions that would typically influence people to leave their homes to visit. Fourth is the decrease of social programs available as a form of assistance and outreach for elders,

Two years ago, I was sitting in a dimly lit packing room, wedged between a stalled out pale yellow refrigerator and a stack of boxes, packed to the brim with all sorts of canned fruits and vegetables. People worked quickly here, moving boxes from one corner of the room to another, creating a rhythm of sorts. Thump. Swoosh. Thump. Swoosh. The boxes left in droves as lines of people congregated around the open warehouse door with open hands ready to accept what was offered while statements of gratitude leapt from their tongues. The amount of people waiting outside far outnumbered the volunteers, but the volunteers worked hard, they knew they had to today. It was 104 degrees outside and some of these people standing in line, with children in tow, had been waiting for hours. It was distribution day at the South Texas Food Bank and I was there to help.

On Wednesday, February 7th 2018 it was my first time volunteering with Martha's Table. I signed up to volunteer at the clothing store, known as Martha's Outlet, but the volunteer coördinator directed me to the kitchen because they needed more staff. I was quite excited to work in the kitchen because I love cooking and organizing. When I got to the kitchen, I put on an apron, gloves, and hair net to make sure a sanitary place. My first task was to organize the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that organizations such as law firms, schools, and churches. I organized hundreds of sandwiches that were given out for free at dinner as well as in the lobby of Martha's Table. Another task I did while at dinner and the dishes was to go outside and

Her silly little cooking idea, as her boss called it six months ago, had grown into an expected Saturday feature. It added much needed extra hours to her paycheck. With another medical bill for her twin sister Christina, and Dad still recovering from Mom 's unexpected death, she needed all the help she could get to keep the family afloat.

Further down in the South a majority of slaves lived and also worked on cotton plantations, which consisted of 50 or fewer slaves, with some of the largest containing hundreds. Cotton at this time was among the leading cash crops, however rice, and corn, and sugarcane, and tobacco also were raised by African American workers on plantations. lots of different types of work also took place on plantations or on farms. slaves were to clear new land, to dig ditches, cut/move wood, livestock, and repair building tools. Black women carried the burden of caring for their families. Some slaves were able to work indoors, carrying out services for the master's and their families. Know as house servants. They were constantly under surveillance of their

With no money, home, or other place to go, she was dependant on the sisters allowing her to stay. In response to their hospitality, she asks that they do not worry about paying her for work. She lives humbly and serves the sisters and he congregation as a maid. One day, when she wins the lottery, she wants to display her gratitude over having a place to stay and is eager to show them food of better quality than ale and bread soup, she asks if she may cook an important meal for them. If more people could adapt this type of servitude without expectation of reciprocation , the result would be our needs being met by one another, and would build a stronger community that cares for its neighbors. Her exotic purchases raise fears and whispers amongst the congregation, and their decision to not speak about the meal is telling of the narrow minded state of the group. However, she presses on with the meal, and as the courses and wine spill out of the kitchen into the elegant dining room, the tone in the room shifts from quite bitter resolve to awe and open

Home-delivered meals are designed to provide nutritious meals to homebound senior citizens, particularly those that live alone. These meal programs can improve the life and health of vulnerable, at-risk seniors within American communities.

The truth is that photography really does limit our understanding of the world. Although others may argue that photography deepens their understanding of the world around us, this “world” is the world that the photographer creates. The world that photography shows us is not the entire world, as there is more to see. Photography highly limits the understanding of our world in ways that we were not even aware of. The manipulation of images, showing an unreal world through images, not being able to experience what the photographer experienced, and replacing going places by looking at photographs are ways of how we are limited by photography.

Initially, it can be hard to make friends in college. It is especially hard when people around us keep changing every semester. However, this semester was slightly different for me. Uniquely enough, I came to know some interesting people as a part of my English 101 class. As a part of the course curriculum, every student was assigned a group of random classmates to work as a peer editor throughout the semester. Eventually, me, Donnie, Stephen, and Elle Anna Rose landed in the same group. Our first interaction was short, and it was too limited to share all the information about one another. However, I realize that all of us have very different dreams, beliefs, and personalities that set us apart from one another. Apart from these differences,
