Event Description
Do you know that about 578,424 people experience homelessness on any given night in the United States? Hi, my name is Kyle Finley, and I am in the beginning juniors class. I see homeless people on the streets with almost nothing and I want to help them. For my green belt project I am helping the homeless. Will you help me help them?
I am hosting a dinner on Tuesday, February 10, 2015 from 5:30-7:30PM and all proceeds will be donated to Loves and Fishes. Dinner will include pizza, salad, veggies, milk, and a treat for $6. Extra treats and slices of pizza will be available for an additional charge. We will also provide the materials for each family to assemble a blessing bag to have to give to a homeless person they encounter around town. My house isn’t big enough, so the dinner will be held in Ferguson Hall at Fremont Presbyterian Church at 5770 Carlson Drive, by Sac State.
Additionally, from now until February 10th I will be collecting items requested by Loaves and Fishes on their ongoing needs list. Please feel free to bring donations to the dinner or drop them off in the box at the dojo (Rescue Room of the Coloma Community Center.) We are all so fortunate to have a warm bed to sleep in, plenty of food to eat, and clothes to keep us warm. Let’s all pitch in to show love to those who aren’t as fortunate as us. Thank you for helping me help the homeless!

Thank you for everyone’s generous donations. With your help I collected $1,035, 63 rolls of toilet paper, 4 gift cards, 2 rolls of paper towels ,10 sweatshirts/jackets, 6 coffee containers, 1 pair of shoes, 1 pack of underpants (7 pairs), 1 large bag of moist towelettes, 11 tubes of toothpaste, 1 hair brush and comb, 2 toothbrushes, 12 packs of deodorant, 22 pairs of socks, 10 razors, and 1 fleece hat. I also received shampoo, lotion, wipes, a first aid kit, a sewing kit, and 27 cups.
My family and I delivered everything to Loaves and Fishes on Friday. They were very happy and l felt very proud that l was able to help the homeless.
Thank you again for your help and support.
Love,
Kyle

If you'd like to donate a gift card, you may place it in the locked box used for collecting tuition checks, just inside the dojo door. Thanks, Sensei!
We hope to see you at the dinner on February 10th!
THANK YOU!

If you can't make it to the dinner or don't have any items to donate, you can still help by giving money. :-) Please visit http://sacloaves.org/my/help-kyle-help-the-homeless to donate today!
