Common Good

Our Daily Bread is important to the Common Good because it serves those that are in a difficult place and need a helping hand. Our Daily Bread assists anyone, even if they are poor and homeless. It is a place for people to get food that they cannot afford and a shelter for some during the harsh winter weather. Many sacrifices have to be made to ensure that dignity is met for all. Some sacrifices include: many workers sacrificing their time to help and serve others, some people sacrifice a better paycheck so that they can help others, and of course some people sacrifice personal items and money to give to the poor.

But all good things have rules and procedures. To make sure that the service in Our Daily Bread takes place is that everyone must respect each other, the workers, and most especially the guests. Other standards include being kind and using proper manners in the dining area. One lesson that I have learned from this experience that I could apply to my peers at MSJ is that everyone must help out. At Our Daily Bread, the simple task of throwing away your own tray was considered helpful. So at MSJ if all the students do little things to make the school a better place, I am sure that there will be a positive outcome.
