Humanity 101® In Action

We consider our Homeless Outreach Sorting Fridays and Service Saturdays examples of Humanity 101 in Action, where intergenerational, multi-professional, and multi-communal individuals, groups, and organizations join us to distribute shoes, clothing, and toiletries to unhoused community members. Our focus and goal is to extend humanity through service to individuals most denied fundamental dignity through respect, kindness, compassion, and empathy. 

Since our inception in 2011, thousands of volunteers have joined together to serve community members. In this process, many volunteers have reported experiencing deep self-reflection and critical reflection on class, race, gender, age, sexuality, ability, mental health, wellness, suffering, loss, and humility.
