we're rolling small but powerful

Last week a small group of 3 of us hit the streets to feed the need.  We got an unusually high number of profuse Thank Yous and HUGE smiles.  It was a rainy cold night, yet still people were out in the elements and hungry.

Looking forward to next week!

Feed event tonight?!?

I know that a few of my regular volunteers are unable to make it tonight.  No worries at all, I know life get's in the way some times and truly appreciate the sacrifices they make to be there regularly.  I'm just trying to get a sense of wether or not I will be flying solo.  

So, while I usually do not ask for RSVPs, please let me know if you plan to come downtown and feed the homeless with me tonight.

Thanks!

Stats from Sat

A few saturdays ago we partnered with Ebenezer Zion Church, for a multi-group event at the Lazarus Center.  Lazarus caters to homeless over the age of 50.  So while we showed up with our usual backpacks full of snack packs, the folks from Ebenezer cooked up a hot meal for the people inside the center.  I just heard back from Sonny at Ebenezer, and here are the stats from the event.



268 hot meals served
200 sack lunches distributed
-----------------------------------------

468 total fed


They are planning the next event for February 12th, however I will be out of town.  So if any of ya'll are interested let me know.  

I realize that our part in this is little more than what we do every other week on our own already, but I think there is a benefit to these multi-group events and will encourage more of them moving forward. 

That's that for now!

Back at it Feb 8th!

Most of ya'll know the drill; Meet at the park in the NW corner of Pike Market at 7:30pm, February 8th this time.  We usually congregate on the north end of the park, near the concrete circle, in front of the sea food restaurant.  Come with about 12 snack packs made and ready to distribute.  I'll be the big guy in the Sounders jacket and backward ball cap.  Leave time for parking as it can be touchy, though there is lots of free street parking.  Be flexible, sometimes it takes us 10 minutes, sometimes it takes us an hour; but either way people are fed and smiles are seen.  

That's that for now, let me know if you have any questions!
