National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week...

...is this week. To learn more, visit the National Coalition for the Homeless. They've chosen the week before Thanksgiving for their annual observance. Puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

According to the January 2005 "count" conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, 88,345 people are estimated to be homeless at a given time in the Los Angeles area.

The LA Regional Food Bank estimates that 1 in 10 people in the LA area are at risk of hunger.

Join us in prayer this week, and in action throughout the year to make whatever dent we can in these numbers. You have an opportunity this Saturday, Nov. 18, at the LA Regional Food Bank from 9am-12pm. Let me know if you and your family would like to volunteer.
