Day 369 "Dinner at Rosie's Place" pen & ink & pencil 9 x 12

 My daughter and I volunteered at Rosie's Place in Boston the other day.  We worked in the food pantry for a few hours, waiting on the clients.  Each gets a number and we escort them through the pantry one on one.  They get to choose what they want, and they leave with a couple of well-packed bags of food.  While the clients wait for their number, they eat in the dining room, where my daughter and I eventually had dinner as well.  This is my third time volunteering at Rosie's, first in the food pantry.  I plan to make it a regular gig with my daughter, perhaps every two weeks.  When I put together this drawing, I was very intentional about not including any of the clients.  Each of the red aprons indicates a volunteer.  Some volunteers have worked weekly for years, and for some it is the first time.  Wonderful organization.  
This is my three hundred sixty-ninth daily drawing.  Thank you for looking.
