Dedication to Homeless vets

>> Thursday, April 10, 2008

What’s it going to take to serve those who have served for our freedom? To aid those who gave up years of their life to fight for this great nation? One out of every four homeless individuals is a United States veteran. One out of every three homeless men is a veteran. With over 8,500 homeless in Central Florida alone, that is over 2,100 homeless veteran’s right here. There are tens of thousands more across the country. Close to 70% of the vets have served for more than 3 years. We must stand up for those who have fought for us, and dedicated their lives for our freedom. Come out to the Rock for Hunger feedings on Monday nights, and get to know a homeless veteran. Then come to our job training program, and help that individual with a resume, job searching, interview building and more. The job training program takes place every first and second Wednesday in downtown Orlando at the Library on Central Ave from 6pm-7:30pm. You can make a difference for those who have fought for us right here in our hometown.

Along with the theme of serving the homeless veterans our brother Chris Burns has written a great song titled “What’s it going to take” which is now featured on the Rock for Hunger myspace, Chris Burns official myspace page, and on Diatonic Productions. Come to the Rock for Hunger Spring Concert and receive a free copy of this song which will soon be featured on the first ever Rock for Hunger compilation album. Most importantly be sure to serve a homeless vet! Ask us how, or come out on a Monday night for our weekly food sharing.
