Not just another thank you card
I arrived to "work" this morning to find an inspiring card on our desk from a local college addressed to James, Hannah, Ray, Kyle, & the staff at Adams St. Family Campus. It was addressed to us who tirelessly pour into our homeless kids, while at the same time realizing they're pouring into us as well. To every parent, volunteer, and community member we attempt to convey how special these kids are to us & to our community. I'm sharing the contents of the thank you note becuase it communicates who are kids are and how we promote growth in them. Not only are we seeking to inspire the kids we work with, but through the kids we are seeking to inspire our community to get involved with the incredible growth that is happening in their lives here. I hope these words of college kids from PLU that served us so well mean as much to you as they do to me:
"Thank you so much for opening your doors to PLU students this year! It was a unique experience to see a family shelter and work with the kids. The kids inspired all of us, and really pushed us to think outside our own worlds. All of you were so kind & gracious. We hope to corss paths again soon! Best Wishes,
J-Term on the Hill Students"
