About
20 youth and three or four sponsors will participate in a homeless
simulation at San Jose Christian Church on Friday, Aug 4, starting
at 5 p.m.
The
kids will be going to select neighboring houses that evening to ask
for boxes to sleep in. Next they will have to find their food, which
will be hidden in the yard at the church.

Saturday
morning they will be fed breakfast in the church basement. Breakfast
will be mission- kitchen-style toast, scrambled eggs and black
coffee.
In
their hungry, sleep-deprived state, they will be going around town
asking for canned food to donate to the Inner City Mission in
Springfield.
The
event is to raise the kids' and public's awareness of homelessness.
The hope is to let the kids know how lucky they really are to have a
home.
