Believe, and Some of my Heroes |

 Social Justice:
Founded
New Covenant House of Hospitality Soup Kitchen,
Stamford, CT in 1976. Still in existence having
served over 2,000,000 meals. A project I feel really good about since it
directly helps a lot of very unfortunate people, including many little
children. Photo taken during the soup kitchen era at a coffeehouse.
