Food on Foot is an amazing grass roots operation in Los Angeles, that is truly assisting the homeless to become productive members of society again. I've had the pleasure of being apart of Food on Foot (off and on again) since about 2001 when I used to volunteer in Venice. I have seen so many wonderful additions to the program over the years. I have also seen what a difference Food on Foot can make in the world.
What I enjoy the most from Food on Foot is how it's ran like a business. It respects everyone and treats everyone equally. It makes people in the program prove that they really want to get themselves off the streets and most importantly, he offers hope. People need to understand that homelessness affects us all and that we are capable of solving this issue if more people take an interest. Society needs to comprehend that many Americans are only a paycheck or two away from possibly being homeless themselves.
Food on Foot receives no government assistance. It operates through private donations and volunteers so I encourage others to get involved and help make the world a better place for all of us!
