Midnight Run!

I thought it would be a wonderful idea to write about Midnight Runs today because I will be going with the Caldwell College Campus Ministry on a Midnight Run tomorrow night! Midnight Runs are a program that was developed to help the poor people of New York City. My freshman year at Caldwell College, I went on one Midnight Run and it was an amazing experience! During the Midnight Runs, Caldwell College works with other colleges to provide food and clothing for the poor people who do not have a home and are forced to live on the streets in New York City. There are several locations in which we stop at and the people in the area are informed that we are coming. During the Runs, the people are usually able to choose one or two warm pieces of clothing to wear and there are also some sandwiches and soup that they can eat. I think it is such a wonderful experience because the people truly appreciate what you are doing for them. Sometimes the people also like to talk to the people who bring them food and clothes on the Midnight Run and some of their experiences are heart-breaking. I am so excited about participating on the Midnight Run tomorrow and I cannot wait to blog about how it went!
