Love and compassion are virtues central to Christianity and its always inspiring when we see it demonstrated – such as in this story below where a church showed how they took care of the homeless people living in their area.
According to reports, San Francisco’s St. Boniface church accommodates about 225 homeless individuals every single day in their chapel. This wonderful deed is done in cooperation with The Gubbio Project.
Co-founded in 2004 by community activists Shelly Roder and Father Louis Vitale, The Gubbio Project aims to address the growing number of homeless men and women in the neighborhood of Tenderloin, San Francisco.
