Charity Woods is special. I met Charity in Atlanta, where she is coordinating advocacy for Health Care for America Now. Charity and I talked recently about our hopes for an increased sense of community in the new year, especially in light of the hard times that are upon us.
Charity told me that she looks out for a homeless man who lives on the porch of a house in her neighborhood. Charity bought him a winter coat and sleeping bag at the thrift store and picks up a few cans of beans every time she buys groceries. She pays him a few bucks for odd jobs.
Most people, including me, aren't brave enough to befriend the homeless. But Charity fears not. She just does.
Enjoy this feel-good video of Charity talking about community in bad times.
