Lauri Dickinson - $84 Club Member - 4/9/2006
For me, Food on Foot means that aside from providing food for the homeless and poor, it is actually an opportunity to get individuals reintegrated into society and show that there are people who still care about them, even if for a short time they veered off track.
What I most like about FOF is that it is truly a work program, and it is easy to see a difference being made with the individuals that participate on the work crew. I also like the commitment that FOF has made to these individuals by gaining their trust and showing up every week rain or shine.
I was able and honored to attend the 10 year anniversary serving just yesterday, and what moved me was when a member of the work crew received 10 days in a hotel. The sense of pride he showed and the support from other members of the work crew was "phenomenal." As a volunteer, it's great to see the successes of the individuals that participate in the program.
