SPOON
This past Thursday, we participated in SPOON– the Stanford Project On Hunger. We met early Thursday morning to prepare and serve breakfast to our neighbors at the Palo Alto Opportunity Center (PAOC).
Sitting right across the street from Stanford, the Opportunity Center serves as a drop-in center and temporary housing for Palo Alto’s homeless. It’s an awesome program for not only does it give these people a place to live and food, but it has a job incentive program, where it gets people back on their feet by providing them gift cards and goods in return for their work. For many, the program is inspires confidence as well as gives them on the job training and marketable skills.
It was a great morning. Not only was it an awesome opportunity to serve and get to know our community, but we had an awesome time doing it together.
