Sandwich runs for the homeless
Reviewed By: Giulia FI have been volunteering with Project417 for almost 5 years now. It's more than just delivering bagged lunches to the homeless, it's about breaking down barriers and opening the lines of communication and showing these people that someone cares. Volunteerism should start close to home, and what better charity then to help the homeless who live on the streets of our city.
