Hey, Sandy, what's new? Interested in a movie tonight?
I wish I could, but I'm busy. I'm going to work at a soup kitchen tonight.
Soup kitchen? Is that a new restaurant or something?
Nah, it's a place where homelesspeople go to eat.
How did you get involved in something like that?
Well, the minister at my church told us about it, and it seemed interesting. I thought I'd try it once, and if I didn't like it I'd stop.
So what do you do there?
It's simple. All we do is prepare some food, usually sandwiches and some fruit, and give it out to them at the soup kitchen.
Yeah, it sounds easy. How long does it take?
Only about two hours, for a couple of days a month. Why don't you give it a try?
I don't know. I mean, I like helping the community and all that, but I don't know if I have the time. . .
Come on, it's easy, and it'll make you feel good. Why don't you come with me tonight?
