Homelessness is an imminent social issue in the modern world. This issue is a result of the high rate of unemployment in the society and the high cost of living. Homelessness is also common among orphans and runaways who have lived in the streets for a long time. It follows that homelessness results in the victims engaging in some illegal practices like drug peddling, prostitution, and stealing to earn a living. While this issue is present in most cities across the world, the homeless people are viewed as a burden to the society, and a nuisance because of their begging habits. Many people in the society prescribe to the stereotype that the unfortunate homeless people are just lazy and unwilling to get jobs to liberate themselves from poverty. The reality of the issue is that some of the homeless people are hard working people who are yet to secure a good job, whereas others just need help from the society to get back on their feet. Homeless people suffer from hunger, and their lives are always at risk from harsh living conditions. The victims live in the streets, and they normally suffer when the weather is too harsh, especially in cold nights. Security for the homeless people in the streets is also a major worry for the victims. This paper looks into homelessness as one of the pressing social problems of the modern world. My Episcopal Community Service My Episcopal community service involved helping the homeless people in the society. I was part of a project that looked into feeding the homeless people in the community. I volunteered in a charity project for two hours every Thursday for a total of 25 hours. The project provided a learning opportunity for me because it presented an opportunity to interact with the homeless people. During the interactions I had with the respective homeless people, it became apparent that not all street dwellers are dangerous criminals. I used to fear the homeless people sleeping in the streets, but now I sympathize with their situations. The project has enabled me to understand some of the underlying problems that have led to the social issue of homelessness. One of the eminent issues leading to homelessness in the society is the high cost of living. According to research conducted within the project, the cost of a decent meal in the community is very high, and most people struggle to buy food. It is also apparent that the low-cost meals from the grocery stores do not include fresh products. For instance, vegetables available in stores frequented by the homeless people are seldom fresh. Food and health care services are not accessible to the homeless people, and this has challenged most caring people in the society to develop charity projects. Common good and charitable work In my Episcopal community service, the task delegated to me was the preparation of cutlery. I also helped with serving food to the homeless people who attended the charity project. During this activity, I observed that there are very many homeless people in the society. The most alarming finding is that the homeless society in the community is not only comprised of the old and poor people, but it also has many young people. Our project was geared toward helping the homeless as instructed in the Catholic Social Teachings (CST). The p
