Shelter dinners 2010

2010 shelter dinners have been scheduled. We will be preparing dinners every 4th Saturday of the month for the year 2010. Happy New Year everyone and thank you so much for your extraordinary work in 2009!

On any given night in America, anywhere from 700,000 to 2 million people are homeless, according to estimates of the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. Helping the homeless requires individuals like you to make a commitment to help those among us who are in the greatest need. Your monetary donation will go a long way to help feed homeless men and women in Northern Virginia. 100% of your donation (minus Paypal charges if any) is used to feeding the homeless as we are 100% volunteered based.

Let's save Farnaz!

I received an email this morning from one of the Dast2Dast volunteers. Farnaz is her cousin's wife and below is the body of the email:

You already had a good taste of what it feels like to extend ones hand and reach out to our fellow friends through working with the Bailey's Crossroads Shelter. If you have more time to spare in between the monthly dinners and would like to extend your hand even further, here is another opportunity:
