The idea is simple: Spending time and sharing lunches and compassion with the homeless. Usually, a group of volunteers, come together on a Sunday morning and make about 300 homemade sandwiches that we (in teams of 3) take to the streets of San Francisco to share with those men, women, and children who don't have a home, nor a companion to share a lunch with. For many of us, this activity has not only brought deeper insights into our own lives, but is an opportunity to share of ourselves. Many of the past participants have said that having lunch with a total stranger would have been something that they would never had done, but after doing so, realize that no matter what one's background is, the many connections that all humans share, supersede the fears and assumptions that often blind us from true human connections. The details of the Help-The-Homeless activity is as follows: When: Aug 11th from 10AM-3PM Location: San Francisco To RSVP: please visit: http://www.charityfocus.org/rsvp/ (details will be emailed once you RSVP) If you have any questions about the event, feel free to email us! --CharityFocus HTH coordinators ************************** OR COMBINATION POST: We are getting together once again for Help_The_Homeless activity in San Francisco on Saturday, Dec 13th from 10AM-3PM!
