I discovered Central Union Mission online, after my ex-students reported to me the issue of homelessness, among their peers in their public high school. If it were not for my beautiful students reporting this grave image that was etched in my conscience, I clearly would not be at this venerable organization.
The Mission has been a think tank for me - literally. The goals of the Mission is to restore the men, spiritually. So, that they can reconnect with family members and friends. And, to live successful lives.
The entire organization exemplifies courage, goodwill, trust, love and respect. I love it when I volunteer and someone says hello. A little kindness goes a long way. But, the secret is that kindness enables the men in the shelter to feel better about themselves, have more confidence, believe in themselves.
I have witnessed powerful transformations, due in large part to the certification programs offered at the Mission. These programs work! It's a successful formula. The men provides testimonies on a regular basis.
The Director provided invaluable information directly to my ex-students who were anxious to help their peers. The information will be with them for a lifetime. Think about these young people, our future leaders of America listening to a Director who has expertise on homelessness.
It was incredibly moving! I watched my ex-students faces. The powerful message was sinking in.
Finally, I am incredibly blessed to be working beside a Coordinator who works tireless. He shows compassion and commitment to everything he does, on behalf of the Mission.
His presentations regarding the history of the organization is so thoroughly inspiring. The volunteers walk away knowing something about this institution that they didn't know before they arrived. What a learning experience!
Thank you Central Union Mission for helping me to reach out more, share more, love more, support more. At the moment, I'm reaching for the stars, on behalf of the men in the shelter. To the men, YES, YOU CAN!
