Something is bothering me.

I been volunteering at the homeless shelter for over a month now, And I have just realized in the past two weeks their seems to be some favoritism in this place, And its from the staff members, Apart from 1 that I haven't seen do this (yet) . It seems that their is a clique going between the staff members and people that go their a lot, It seems that whenever shoes, clothing or even other such goods are donating to the place, it seems the same ones get the nice things, while others are pushed aside, So if your not close to the staff member, If they do not like you that much, you wont be favorited to get the good stuff that comes into the shelter.
I understand we can like people more than others,
But I believe everyone should be equal, and more so a homeless shelter where people are trying to survive and some find it more tough than others,

I just don't think it is fair that some people that goes their are more "privileged" than others,

While i have seen at least two people that could really use a helping hand, Can not forget some people do have pride, and do find it hard to ask for help when they really need it, I know i can be excused of this factor to. And if you throw in the fact these two other people are men, You would understand it more, Women can be more freely in asking (not me and i am a woman, but saying the majority here) for what they want than men, Because society conditions it that way and people just tend to accept that factor.

I have decided i will not donate things their for the whole shelter, But rather give individually to the people i "feel" are not getting the help they so need. I feel God will lead me to bless these people in ways others do not. And that is the best part to know God is helping me to reach the rejected, The ones that other people ignore for their favouritism's etc.

So today I decided to go into a thrift store to see what I could find, Firstly I was looking for something I could sell, Then I came across ...
