A Helping hand in need of a helping hand.

I was driving down Guadalupe Street one afternoon to go to AutoZone. I needed a new light bulb for one of my brake light which burned out the night before. This drive was a little different than usual as I got closer to my destination I noticed on my right a tall dark haired man wearing a dirty work shirt with some light blue jeans with oil stains on them. He was walking along the side of the road with a young boy holding his hand. I'm guessing it was his son whom he just picked up from the school bus stop because the boy was wearing a Spongebob backpack. The two were walking by a building with a sign in the front by a white mailbox saying "Southside Community Center." I thought to myself "wow you could really miss this building if you weren't looking for it," the building is all white and is need of some repairs like some new paint and some fixer uppers especially the front porch which is lopsided. The community center is a non-profit organization that services to local disadvantaged families. There was no sign of hours of operations in the front. But the building itself was a little disturbing because of the condition it was in. Just by looking at it you wouldn't think it was a place that helped the disadvantaged, but it does. The community center is not only open to disadvantaged families but to all disadvantaged. On any given day during lunch time you can see many gathered at the back picnic tables all conversing and enjoying thier lunches. Today, there was no such day as the building looked deserted and was locked, the lights were off and no aroma of food cooking was in the air. It was a week day so i expected somebody to be there. Inside looked almost as the outside, in need of some help. Being right off Guadalupe I can hear cars and feel the heat from the sun and the engines. Standing out front hoping somebody working here will stop to open the door. What if i was a family in need, how would i get some help from the organization if they are not here.
