Washington D.C.is the capital of the USA.It is a beautiful city.But there are many poor and hungry people in it.some of them are even homeless.In the northwest part of the city there is a house called Martha's Table.It has been there since 1980.A group of volunteers(志愿者)go there every day.They collect food,clothes and money for the poor people.Every day the volunteers prepare 2,100 sandwiches and a lot of soup and cakes for about 500 people,the only meal in the street and parks.
Mrs Morley is one of the volunteers . She looks after 60 children in a big room.Some are young and some are older.She tells them stories and teaches them how to read and draw.She also helps them with their homework.Their parents have to work long hours.They can't take good care of them.They are glad that Martha's Table can help look after their children.
