Jeanne Sakata - 1/22/2006

Food on Foot is an opportunity to share in a program that not only practices compassion and generosity and charity, but emphasizes the equally important need to rebuild the internal lives of the less fortunate --- by teaching the values of self-esteem, loving support, hard work, and reliability with the eventual aim of steady employment.

What I like most about Food on Foot is the small, familial atmosphere, the fact that charity is balanced with the emphasis on working for what you are given.

I was deeply moved by the three men who shared their stories and journeys on Christmas Day --- how Food on Foot was so instrumental in helping them get off the streets, get back on their feet and make such profound changes in their lives.
