I had a lovely man, 51, college graduate living at the Samaritan House who came ready: had resumes and was sooo sharp. Hearing his story of how he ended up there was amazing. I spent 3 hours just with him and ended up taking him back to the shelter so he could change and come back and work the clean-up shift. WOW, he wanted to pay it back. I was so humbled by all the fabulous outreach and help that was available. What a great day.

This was SO WELL organized and flowed so well...the BIG room was a little intimidating, I think, for some of the clients...but the food, the goody bags, the hair cuts, the court session--all of it was terrific. And even animals being spayed was amazing. A wonderful day and so inspirational for me (and for many of the other volunteers).
