Read what they have to say: From Dawn: “
I’ll forever cherish the conversations I had with “guests” at Holy Apostle’s soup kitchen today. Eugene was an African-American army vet who sat next to me at the lunch table. Unaware of my role as a “volunteer”, we started conversing as equals. Small talk about the meal and the best place to get a soup kitchen lunch in the area (Holy Apostles voted unanimously as the best), later evolved into a deep conversation about his life struggle.To read more about their experiences go to their blog at http://2010.urbanpilgrimage.org/
This leadership development project happened because of EPF membership contributions.
