Volunteers of the Week - Susan Harris - $98 club member

Food on Foot means there is a viable program out there that produces tangible results. We have all heard the old adage, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime." It is the concept of "teaching a man to fish..." in practice. This program takes dependents and makes them productive, taxpaying citizens. At the serving there was a girl today that was about 12 years old, one of the needy that showed up for a warm meal and some clothes. She had been coming to Food on Foot since she was 1 year old. -Susan

Work for Food

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 00:00:00 PST

Each Sunday afternoon 40-50 homeless and poor individuals participate in our trash clean up program. This is the first step in their attempt to increase confidence and ultimately obtain a full time job and housing. We are proud that so many have graduated our program and are now completely self-supporting and off all government assistance.

05/16 - We have many volunteer opportunities available in May. We have a very unique program where the homeless collect trash to earn their food each week. Many have graduated after approx. three months and now have full time jobs that enable them to pay for their housing and leave all government assistance. We have helped turn tax burdens into tax payers for the last 15 years. Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year!
