Name of the Game

I know most of you are probably wondering "'Life in the Hood'? Why is Ashley's blog titled 'Life in the Hood'? She's not gangster. She's white as bread." Well, if you are one of those people, you are wrong. I, in fact, am pretty gangster. I live life rough and tumble 24/7 and am actually fairly..........ok - who am I kidding? I'm whiter than bread. Rachel told me to put that and I did because I couldn't think of anything better. I am now accepting REAL ideas for a new blog title.

Thanks for your consideration.

Love for the Homeless

As a new blogger, I figured that this would be a good time to let you all know what has been taking up a million percent of my life for the last 5 months. Project Homeless Connect. It was an awesomely crazy one day event where all services and thier providers came to the homeless, instead of the other way around. I was the lucky one who got to coordinate food and hospitality for the event. There were 200 service providers, 300+ other volunteers that helped make this happen, and approximately 600 (we think) homeless guests that were served today! Services indluded medical, vision, dental, haircuts, bike repairs, DSHS, multiple housing providers, veterinarian, and a catered lunch with piano entertainment - just to name a few.
