"Perhaps the most important thing we can undertake toward the reduction of fear is to make it easier for people to accept themselves, to like themselves." --Bonaro W. Overstreet
Project Homeless Connect
Amme Hill had never talked to a homeless person before, never helped out at a soup kitchen. Even though her heart went out to desperate people she saw on the street, she never found an opportunity to turn her compassion into action. That was until she attended Project Homeless Connect, a monthly gathering where hundreds of San Francisco citizen volunteers gather for a day to help city counselors, welfare and housing specialists sign up homeless people for services that can get them off the street. Mayor Gavin Newsom's new volunteer-based homeless program is not only helping those is desperate need, but is also changing the hearts of those who serve them.
