We Think Bonnie Can
Support Bonnie's Campaign while helping homeless youth
Goal
Introduce 30 people to the wonderful world of volunteering. I'm using my 30th birthday as an excuse to rally my friends to bring friends and join me for a couple of hours working at the San Francisco Food Bank followed by a dinner to raise money for At The Crossroads.
I chose this goal because
Volunteering has truly added so much to my life and I would like share the amazing experience with others. I believe people would volunteer more if they realized how easy it can be to help and if they were matched with an organization they connected with. I chose to hold my event at the SF Food Bank because their volunteer projects are simple and, since they are the main supplier of food in our community, volunteers are actually helping more than 400 organizations including ATC!
I'm helping because
Everyday my heart breaks as I pass homeless people, especially the young ones, but I'm so conflicted with how to help. Give them a buck? Food?? The moment I walked into the positive and inviting At The Crossroads office and met the passionate team, I knew I had found my answer! I am confident that donating time and money to ATC is absolutely the most effective way to make a real difference for San Francisco's challenged homeless youth!
About At The Crossroads
ATC walks the streets of San Francisco, reaching out to homeless youth and young adults on their turf. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. Since we started 13 years ago, we have worked with more than 5,000 youth, helping them build outstanding lives.
