It is that time of year again. We'll be meeting in Caesar Chavez Park at I & 8th in Downtown Sacramento between 11:30am-1:00pm on Christmas morning to hang out with some homeless friends, talk, and enjoy some hot drinks together. This is a time to build relationship with the homeless, show love, resource people, pray if that is your thing, and quite possibly get a greater glimpse into the meaning of Christmas beyond opening gifts. You are invited to come along with us for this event and also to get involved in ways as listed below.

Another donor gave $60 annonymously this week. :)
Oh, we also had a donation of $100 over Thanksgiving.
Wonderful. That is good news and helpful to mobilize future action.
