From North Carolina-Pope Francis recently lamented that the stock market’s loss of a couple of points at the end of the trading day gathered more attention than the human fate of a homeless person.
At least on Thursday night in High Point, that wasn’t the case.
Between 400 and 500 men and women who have experienced the plight of being homeless were served hot meals and cold beverages by hundreds of volunteers from across the community who gladly gave up one of their evenings to help the less fortunate. The Community Homeless Dinner took place for the first time at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in its Community Life Center north of downtown.
The center was lined with festively decorated, long tables as volunteers crisscrossed the floor serving food and drinks to the guests for the evening.
