Compass For Hope feeding the homeless

My story ...
I discovered A group serving the homeless on Facebook a few years ago and watched and watched and kept telling myself I was going to get involved yet didn't. Then in June I walked out of a CVS where a very attractive lady was walking behind me. I had noticed her and knew she was right behind me as I exited the store. A homeless man sat just outside the door and I glanced at him but hurried on my way to my car. Once I sat down, God showed me who the fool was. I had a front row seat to grace. This beautiful lady had stopped and handed the man some cash but she also held his hand and listened to him for a few minutes. She gave him the most valuable asset she had, her time and attention. Shame came over me as I had missed the chance to be kind but I certainly got to witness it in action. I went on about my day and through my summer but I kept thinking about the lady and the grace she showed. In August a friend Karen shared a post about a local man doing things for the homeless in Augusta. I knew this was the message meant for me. I got involved and things are really building momentum. I have big dreams of the impact we can have if we work together to show some kindness to the marginalized group of society that needs us more than we may realize.
We are continuing to feed the homeless every Sunday in down town Augusta. Please come by and help or stop in and donate what you can. Monetary donations are welcome!
