From all of us at SF CARES, we hope everyone had a happy Christmas with good food, great company and a bucket full of love to give and receive. As we venture into an uncharted 2022 that is riddled with uncertainty, instability and more questions than answers, we turn to our Creator for guidance. All we can hope to be is better than we were in 2021, be kinder, to help those less fortunate and to never (physically and metaphorically) walk around or over the homeless as if they don't exist. It's the easiest act of humanity to give the poverty half your sandwich, pop into a store and buy them an energy bar or just look them in the eye and say hello, with sincerity. There are so many complex reasons why someone is homeless and it's not our job to judge them with the most obvious conclusion. It's our job to only look down when we're helping someone up, as this could give them the drive to change their life path for the better.
Finally, please start your new year on the right note by paying forward through signing up to volunteer for a couple of hours. Even if that's just once a month, you'll have given 24 hours worth of your time to help someone else. Here are some websites you can volunteer, today, and leap into 2022 with the most ethical foot stepping forward. Guaranteed, it'll be your best one yet.
