It is that time of year again. We'll be meeting in Caesar Chavez Park at 11:30am-1:00pm on Christmas morning in order to hang out with some homeless friends, talk, and enjoy some hot drinks together (Note that we do have a published bookmark with an incorrect time of 11am, so if you show up then, you'll probably see us 30 minutes later. Sorry for the miscommunication). We did have some previous published dates announcing This is a time to build relationship with the homeless, show love, resource people, pray if that is your thing, and quite possibly get a greater glimpse into the meaning of Christmas beyond opening gifts.
You are invited to come along with us for this event and also to get involved in ways as listed below. Please comment on this post or contact us through our website at www.socksandgloves.org for more information.
