I was blest with a visit with Lisa W. in September! I decided this would be a great opportunity to do some brain storming with her and my other go-getter, Dan. So we sat outside in front of my house and threw around some ideas.
Dan is really enthusiastic and has some wonderful ideas.
For one, we would like to see the Sandwich Runs become a regular thing in our area. Ideas to get more people is to appeal to local singles groups, churches, etc.
The idea had been tossed around quite frequently about having pot luck dinners with like minded people, inviting some of the people we meet on the Sandwich Runs.
Dan and I have been discussing the idea of approaching local businesses to get the employees on board with donating to the cause. The ideas were one dollar a pay or a penny for every hour worked.
Our long term goal still remains, though possibly in a slightly different mind set. We would like to see a shelter established where: the people staying there feel safe; that alcohol and drugs are not allowed; that allow the people that use the facility to feel appreciated and are given a respect, allowing for development of self worth.
