Entertaining Angels: Homelessness And The Hospitality Of Faith In Adams County, Christopher R. Fee
English Faculty Publications
I first volunteered at a soup kitchen in the frigid depths of winter in very late 1981 or very early 1982, in the heart of the Rust Belt in the midst of a terrible recession.
