Food on Foot is a wonderful organization that is taking the initiative to help those in need. The directors and staff tirelessly and selflessly organize the weekly feedings and the work programs, and the entire program is funded through private contributions. Food on Foot is a great example of what a compassionate person can achieve by simply having a desire to help his or her community.
What I love about Food on Foot is that the program is extremely effective and efficient. Food on Foot not only feeds the needy, but they also help participants rebuild their confidence through a structured work program.
Being at Food on Foot during a feeding is an overwhelming experience. We are often out of tune with the reality that there are so many people in need of a warm meal; at Food on Foot I am reminded that there are not just homeless men and women in need of food, but also families, children, and disabled individuals that benefit from our small contributions. Seeing everyone patiently waiting in line for a warm meal inspires me to devote more time and resources to helping those in need. Listening to the personal stories of graduates of the work program that have found employment and gotten off of the streets, is a testament to the effectiveness and determination of the staff and participants of Food on Foot.
