poignant project

Recently I participated in Project Homeless Connect. The event brings many service and provider agencies together under one roof to make access easy for those who have difficulty with transportation, let alone housing. The number of volunteers and participants runs into the thousands. Part of my job that day was to be a guide to services needed by the participant/guest. Medical, dental, eye checks, haircuts, legal services, general assistance benefits, and of course housing were stations to visit and get some work done. The mayor spoke and talked with people for much of the day. The event was a great way to help people. I'm happy to have the time to be a volunteer and work to make our community a better place.


Quote of the day from the Dalai Lama;

" Compassion seems to be the greatest power."

take care!
