Sandwich Run - In Hamilton!

On Friday, November 7th a group of 5 of us hit the streets for our first ever Sandwich Run!

We gathered together and made up the lunches (which we each paid for), had our debriefing (Dan and I leading), then all headed into downtown Hamilton with 51 lunches in our hands.

The weather was on and off with rain, and it was rather cool out, but not too bad.

We were able to hand out 48 lunches on our walk and were able to learn a bit more about a few of the people we met. Enthusiasim was very high, and we possibly insulted a few people, but all in all, I would say we touched some hearts! I know my heart was moved, especially by one certain young lady we met.

Drenched and jublient from our accomplishments, we headed to a local Tim Horton's to talk about what we had experienced and what could be accomplished in the future. The nice thing about being a group of 5 doing this run was that we were all able to communicate about what we saw as we saw it.

This experience was an awesome eye opener for those who went who had never experienced anything like this before. For those of us who had, we were very pleased with how our first attempt to show love for those in need went!
