On June 12th, we were honored to host 40 volunteers from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation between our BLOCK Shop and Window of Kindness.
The day was filled with assembling panels for our upcoming BLOCK Home 16 and serving visitors out of our Window of Kindness, in addition to helping assemble life-saving naloxone kits and helping us organize our sock wall.
One volunteer shared, “Volunteering with you today felt like home, it is the most welcoming volunteering experience I have ever had, and I’ve volunteered with… other organizations, this was definitely my favorite.”
Between these forty volunteers, we received over 100 hours of volunteer support! Thank you Gates Foundation for helping us address our housing crisis and serving our street-based neighbors with the love and compassion we are all due.
