Best Soup in Town

Every Thursday, I assist doctors on a medical outreach van at a local soup kitchen in the Mission. It is here, where you find a sense of community on the streets--people from all walks of life interacting with one another.

People have many stories here.....
Discussions range from conspiracy theories to life on the street and how people got there. Some people are haunted by hallucinations and delusions, others are perfectly logical and articulate--no signs of mental illness. People come from all walks of life--salesman, carpenters, constructions workers--from all over the world--Dallas, Ireland, Mexico, San Francisco.
There is no stereotype that characterizes this place.
