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.

After arriving at 6:30am and leaving 10 hours later, we hit Boundary. Good.
