Human Kindness Walk
planned for next month
BRYAN CLARK Spirit Staff
CHARLES TOWN - Local
citizens and charitable organi-
zations are planning an event to
help raise aid and awareness of
the problem of homelessness in
Jefferson County.
Officials from Community
Ministries, the Homeless Co-
alition and the City of Charles
Town gathered at the Jefferson
County Food Pantry on Sat-
urday night to plan a "Human
Kindness Walk."
The walk will begin at the
Community Ministries build-
ing on May 6, at 2 p.m., and it
will proceed to a number of lo-
cal churches active in the battle
against homelessness. Those
interested in joining the walk
are asked to bring $1 and a
canned food item, which will
benefit Community Ministries.
' They are also asked to wear red
T-shirts to show their solidarity
with the homeless.
The meeting was spurred on
and inspired by Arrnand Young,
a Ranson man with an dedica-
tion for charitable acts. Young
was the force behind obtaining
a home for the Embrey fami-
ly, who lost their home and all
their possessions in an October
fire.
Young wound up in Ranson
after completing his own "Hu-
man Kindness Walk." After
nearly dying from a drug over-
dose, Young decided to turn his
life arotmd. He sold his house
and all his possessions, and
walked from California to New
York helping homeless fami-
lies get employment and hous-
ing.
Young says he is planning an-
other "Human Kindness Walk"
back from New York to Cali-
fomia within a few months.
