Day 293: Pine Street Inn

Today’s give is in honor of Carl D, this guy is a prime example of paying it forward. Carl washes dishes part time at a restaurant in Billerica, MA to earn extra money to donate to charity as part of his spiritual path for lessons in humility and sacrifice. He is a true everyday hero and just another example of someone trying to do a little good in their community. So, I am donating to one of the charities Carl has helped, Pine Street Inn, a group that is working to end homelessness in Boston.

Thanks for the support and inspiration, Carl!

The mission of Pine Street Inn is to be a community of respect and hope for each guest it serves; to be a resource through which neighbors and friends can help to meet the basic needs of others; and to serve as a national leader in the fight to end homelessness.
