"When you do good work, doors keep opening." We will give a sincere 110% and let the outcomes take care of themselves. The joy is in the journey.

Please email questions to homeless@charityfocus.org.

Overview Who?  Open to all. Since it's short notice, we need to let all our friends know. Why?  Present another opportunity to give. Past experiences have been very inspiring for all. When?  Sunday, February 2, 2003 (10 a.m. to 3 pm) 10 am: Meet at Woodshanti 10 am-noon: Make sandwiches 12-2: Share sandwiches/time 2-3 pm: Meet back to do closing remarks Where?  Woodshanti: 1485 Bayshore Blvd, SF (415-656-0177) 1485 Bayshore is actually a Sales Mart Office. There is a gate on the left side of the building that's usually locked on weekends; we'll try to leave it open but if it's closed by others, use 5757 for the simple combo lock. Shanti's woodshop is all the way behind the office, in the rear parking lot; it's a white warehouse and has a sign that says 'WOODSHANTI' over the garage door. Possible service areas: civic center (10 volunteers) tenderloin ( 15+ volunteers) south of market btw 8th and 12th street (10 volunteers) 16th street and mission (10 volunteers) 24th street and mission (10 volunteers) pan handle area (5 volunteers) haight ashbury and eastern golden gate park (5 volunteers) Berkeley (People's Park) (6 volunteers?)
