Not only did they provide food to individuals they came across on the street, the team also passed out blankets, jackets and other clothing items.

“When the people saw us walking down the street with a cart, they knew it was us from Railton and some people came running,” said Vaesau. “Everyone was so happy.”

The gratitude and appreciation from the hearts that were touched that day was felt by all involved.

“It was heartwarming to see so many people with smiles,” said Roth. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve our wider community.”

Shaw could not agree more.

“To be able to spread a little joy was a privilege and one I reflect on with deep compassion and gratitude,” Shaw said. “Our community members are of the most vulnerable population in San Francisco; whether you're homeless or not, you never know how impactful a simple act of kindness can be.”
