Daily Bread Reflection

849 Words4 Pages

Throughout this course, I have had the opportunity to visit several clinical sites that have all left an everlasting memory with me. Each site had some very unique individuals who all were in a very unique situation. My first clinical site was Our Daily Bread in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. This particular location stood out to me because it is one of a kind and I do not believe I will ever come across another soup kitchen like it. Our Daily Bread has never closed their doors since the day they open. They also offer several different programs to the men and women of Baltimore City. After receiving their hot meal, they all are given the opportunity to apply for food stamps, jobs, and receive assistance with building their resume. At Our Daily Bed, there is one particular opportunity that is available for men in Baltimore that are convicted felons, history of substance abuse, and homeless. This program is called Christopher’s Place Employment Academy. Christopher’s Place Employment Academy is a residential program located within Our Daily Bread. They house about 100 men for 18 months and give them the tools they need to reestablish their life. They are given GED preparation courses, …show more content…

In my opinion, Our Daily Bread in a way supports Healthy People 2020. One of Healthy People 2020 leading health indicators is social determinants. Social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, live and work in. Access to housing, education, healthy foods, healthcare, and safe environment is something that everyone who attended Our Daily Bread is in need of. They try to assist as many as possible with finding these resources and they understand that most of the population they serve do not have an address. To ease their concern, they allow over 200 people to receive mail at their location so that they may apply for food stamps and other benefits that require a physical

They were carefully assembled by the storyteller, her sister, and her mom, and they're included apparel worn by eras of relatives. Gracious, better believe it—and on top of that, one of the story's fundamental characters turns out and for all intents and purposes reveals to us that they speak to legacy. Yet, we should not stop there (what fun would that be?).

Growing up in Starrett City contributed to my decision to volunteer at Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, where I helped individuals lacking access to basic care obtain social services and other amenities.

    For example, food insecurity is considered a major social determinant of health. Food Insecurity occurs when people do not have access to adequate and nutritional foods necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle (Lombe et al, 2016). There is a direct relationship between one’s social economic status and the type of food they can afford. Households living below the poverty line lack the resources financially to afford healthier or organic food alternatives. What is more, they may not have the means of transportation to get to those supermarkets where healthier foods are sold.

  • Image The Angels Of Bread Analysis

    1541 Words  | 7 Pages

    Martín Espada’s poem “Image the Angels of Bread” is created with a combination of visionary and angry disgust with injustice in things such as slavery, immigration, and labor. Espada uses specific comparison to inspire revolutionary thinking, while also using grotesque and blunt diction to establish a tone of disgust and anger. Espada uses historical content which could correlates with that of a specific country, but there is not enough evidence to indicate a specific focus. His background as a tenant lawyer also provides specific speculation on his tones and claims presented in the poem. Martín Espada provides an intriguing combination of dream versus reality and anger versus compassion to identify injustices in the world and throughout history.
