Some of the best advice I have ever received was given to me about six years ago. It was the first night I worked with HOOP, an organization serving the unsheltered homeless in and around downtown Indianapolis. We bring food, clothing, blankets, hats, gloves, etc. to homeless people living along the river or under bridges. Steve, the crew leader for the night, was putting me through a brief orientation. He told me, "When someone comes forward and tells us what they need, we don't second guess their needs. We just serve them."
