Three years ago, I found myself in a room of professionals being told that I was no longer welcome to work with the young people in my program. My sense of connection with them was considered a weakness. bit.ly/2KoRk4Y

Thank you Jesen for coming in on your day off to share a family recipe with the Krew. As for the clown, we don't know what you're talking about. #volunteersrock #bethechange #dogood #redefineit

We are part of the uphill efforts in homelessness solutions but also in its prevention. Creating the support before we have to react builds communities that walk beside each other instead of continually picking each other up. homelesshub.ca/blog/efforts-…

"When you’re homeless, the nights are cold, the world is unfriendly, and everything is painfully uncomfortable. In that chronically over-stimulating context, needing a drink or some cigarettes makes fucking sense."

"Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself. 😢👼👼👼

Today meaningful work for the #kitchenkrew was handmade pasta for turkey canneloni. Slow cooked sweet butter for roasted carrots. Hand whipped eggs for creamy tiramisu. Thank you everyone from @mybowness and @CaryaCalgary for sharing our beautiful Pay-It-Forward community lunch.
