We are ready to take on the last leg of our tour. Tomorrow, we will arrive at Friendship Park in Sacramento where we will be camped out for a couple of days. On Monday, Oct. 4, we will be working with homeless families at Family Promise of Sacramento and on Tuesday, Oct. 5, we will empower people at Sacramento Loaves & Fishes. Both organizations are excited about what we will be creating and we are too!
Later in the week, we will move on to San Francisco where we will be working with the families at Compass Family Services. We are also working to finalize a visit to another San Francisco Shelter. On Oct. 9, we will leave for our final destination – Santa Barbara.
On Oct. 10, we will celebrate World Homeless Day in Santa Barbara at Pershing Park. The event will begin at 10AM and go until 1PM and will include a community art project, live music and food sharing. World Homeless Day is being celebrated around the world and is intended to honor the dignity and contribution of every human being, housed or unhoused.
When someone believes in you, you can do most anything. If there was no homelessness, no poverty, we wouldn’t have to live in fear of these things. When we embrace our fear, it melts away.
We’re looking forward to the Hearts of Fire Project culminating the World Homeless Day tour in Santa Barbara. Since you mentioned sharing food at Pershing Park, you must be psychic! I ordered eggs rolls and fortune cookies from Madam Lu this past Friday for the event.
