Last one I did was at the Ronald Mcdonald house. Bought groceries and cooked dinner for about 20 families. Every single person there was happy that they got a home cooked meal, one less thing they had to worry about during that tough time with their kids. I will tell you its one of the most depressing places I have ever been. I was emotionally drained for a few days after.

I concur with that. Back when I was part of a church, we did a Christmas dinner for 20 needy families in the community. At that time I had no idea there *were* needy people in my area, since this is a pretty comfy part of town. We cooked turkeys and all the fixings, and those people were the most grateful folks, and so were their kids. It was a wonderful and humbling experience.
