Nov 8 Here is a great Community Service Opportunity to earn hours: Nov 14, 2009 Nov 14th the Dallas Help the Homeless Walkathon & 5k will take place. Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance operators of The Bridge is the beneficiary. As we all know the homeless are under counted, but in the latest local numbers 51% are women & children. African American males, many of whom are veterans, comprise a large measure of that population. Here are a few facts about the upcoming event: It starts & ends at City Hall Plaza and parking is free below There is a decent start time of 9 am The 2 mile walk is an easy stroll thru downtown Dallas' most famous landmarks The walk is dog and family friendly as is the newly added 5k, (runners w/dogs asked to not obstruct the way of "racing runners.") Registrants receive a tee shirt designed by a child attending summer camp for homeless kids. Homeless people are present, given free tee shirts & we invited a couple ogentlemennt to join us in the walk. We both learned a lot, and were reminded that only circumstances & a little luck, differentiated us. Even just mingling and saying good morning appeared to make some difference to a population that largely feels forgotten and invisible. A band will participate in the post race entertainment 2 links follow which give all details about the race, the bridge and include registration information. http://www.helpthehomelessdallas.org/ http://www.helpthehomelessdallas.org/ THIS IS NOT A SCHOOL SPONSORED EVENT Dec 5, 2009 - Salvation Army - Kettle Day Bell Ringing is by far our greatest need, because every volunteer we lack, we have to pay someone to ring at our kettles. And the money raised in the kettles does more than help out at Christmas: it helps fund our programs year round. So every dollar saved from paying for a Bell Ringer goes directly back to the services we provide in that community. |
