Volunteers of the Week

We all have something that motivates us to give.
My thing has always been feeding the homeless- What
is wonderful about FOF is that you can actually see
the impact you are having on them. It is amazing and
humbling to be apart of FOF-something- much bigger
than myself. Meeting Jay and the volunteers -like
Barry, just makes you want to keep showing up-and that
is what LIFE is all about - (showing up is half the
battle) the rest....


The whole way the program is set up. I love how it
runs like a successful business. And that as a
homeless person if you have desires to get back in
society there is a clear cut system set out to fallow.
That is what makes FOF sooooooooo unique!!! A
road to begin. FOF is the real thing and when in the
presence of such integrity you always want more.
Greeting all the people and giving them eye contact is
a uniquely personal experience, and for me it makes me
feel less guilty and more connected. So I guess I do
it for myself as much as I do it for them.


I also love the way everyone shows up and just
gets to the work at hand. A sense of community begins
instantly. WE are all there for the same purpose as
one. That is a rare experience for a bunch of strangers
in a big city like LA. Meeting Mr. Fairbanks and
hearing him sing the Our Father was priceless!

Thank you,
