This is my favorite homeless lady. I have more photos of her that I will post.
It's nice to know that the elderlies have not been forgotten. Alot of times we focus so much on the future and the children that we forget to care for those who have contributed their time and served their purpose. I was really lucky to have been a witness to this wonderful event because it's something that I have wanted to photograph since I've first heard about this organization.
Earlier today I went downtown to take some pictures of the festivities surrounding the World Food Prize Event. This year, John Agyekum Kufuor & Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva have been chosen to jointly receive the 2011 World Food Prize for their personal commitment and visionary leadership while serving as the presidents of Ghana and of Brazil, respectively, in creating and implementing government policies to alleviate hunger and poverty in their countries.
In short, these guys reduced hunger by more than 50% in their respective countries. It's really a great story. Below is an explanation of the prize from the World Food Prize Website:
It is the "foremost international award recognizing -- without regard to race, religion, nationality, or political beliefs -- the achievements of individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world."
The Prize recognizes contributions in any field involved in the world food supply -- food and agriculture science and technology, manufacturing, marketing, nutrition, economics, poverty alleviation, political leadership and the social sciences.
The World Food Prize emphasizes the importance of a nutritious and sustainable food supply for all people. By honoring those who have worked successfully toward this goal, The Prize calls attention to what has been done to improve global food security and to what can be accomplished in the future.
The award was first given in 1986, and is the idea of Dr. Norman Borlaug (Nobel Prize Winner from Iowa) and has been sponsored some time by the Ruan Corporation - specifically by the late John Ruan Sr.

FMSC Potato-W meals reach the children in Northern Kenya. "The kids really loved it," said Stefan Radelich from Feed The Hungry. "They took a bite, took another bite, and then before I knew it the bowl was empty. Days after I left, I heard that people were flooding the local church because they finally saw that their prayers [for food] were answered and people cared."

Some friends run a outreach that provides meals twice a week. For Christmas they do a party with gifts for the kids. I get to do Santa photos for all the kids. This year I'm featuring one little girl for my facebook post.
Our motto at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul comes from the command of Jesus found in the Gospel:
"I was hungry and you gave me food; thirsty and you gave me drink; a stranger and you welcomed me; naked and you clothed me; sick and you cared for me; in prison and you visited me."
—Matt 25: 35-36
The Saint Vincent de Paul Society was founded in Paris in 1833, by a young French nobleman, Frédéric Ozanam, to confront his city's devastating poverty. Inspired by his love of St. Vincent de Paul, a seventeenth century French priest who had an untiring commitment to serving the poor, Ozanam's mission was clear - help the needy on a one-to-one basis and "accomplish through charity what justice alone cannot do."
The Society took Saint Vincent de Paul as its patron under the influence of Sister Rosalie Rendu, DC (Daughter of Charity). Sister Rosalie (who was beatified in 2004 by Pope John Paul II) was a member of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, a group of religious women who take vows to serve the poor and those in need, founded by St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac. Sr. Rosalie, who was well known for her work with the most poverty stricken people in the slums of Paris, guided Blessed Frédéric and his companions in their approach towards those in need. The St. Vincent de Paul Society was established in San Francisco in 1860 and for over 140 years, need has been the only requirement to receive help. The purpose of the Society is to help the neediest members of the community to become as self-sufficient as possible. The Society helps over 1,000 people in San Francisco every day, who are suffering from poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, and domestic violence.
Almost one million people around the world are members of the Society. They call themselves "Vincentians", in tribute to St. Vincent de Paul. What they all have in common is a desire to serve poor and suffering people - the homeless, the sick, the lonely and the elderly. Vincentians deliver food, visit shut-ins, purchase personal care items, clothing and furniture, provide transportation, and assist in many other ways. As members of local parishes they perform their charity in parish groups known as "Conferences". Today, there are over 350 Vincentians (adults and youth) who serve in 31 parish Conferences, 2 youth grammar school Conferences and at 6 shelter program locations. Persons who are non-Catholic are welcomed to participate in the work and mission of the Society. The Society serves the poor regardless of creed, race, or sexual orientation.
"Days after I left," reports Stefan Radelich from Feed The Hungry, "I heard that people were flooding the local church because they finally saw that their prayers [for food] were answered and people cared."

How The Society Got Started
Frédéric Ozanam left his home in Lyon, France, in the autumn of 1831, for Paris. He registered in the School of Law at the Sorbonne, University of Paris.
Frédéric collaborated with Mr. Emmanuel Bailly, editor of the Tribune Catholique, in reviving a student organization which had been suspended during the revolutionary activity of July 1830. They called their new association "The Conference of History." The group met on Saturdays to discuss various topics, everything but polititcs. At one of their meetings, a student challenged Frédéric and the practicing Catholics. He admitted that the Catholic Church had done much good work in the past, but "what do you do now?"
Frédéric called for a meeting of five of his friends; they agreed to meet at Mr. Bailly's office. The date was April 23, 1833, Frédéric's twentieth birthday. Inspired by their words, Frédéric decided to found the "Conference of Charity" to assist the poor. Emmanuel Bailly, the married layman, was chosen by the six students as their first President. In a short time, they changed their name to The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in honor of their patron.
St. Vincent de Paul (1581-1660) was founder of the Congregation of the Mission, Daughters of Charity, Confraternities of Charity, and Ladies of Charity.
A man of deep faith, keen intellect, and enormous creativity, he has become known as the "The Apostle of Charity" and "Father of the Poor."
His contributions to the training of priests and organizing parish missions and other services for the poor shaped our Church's role in the modern world.

Regents School of Oxford packed 10,000 meals for families in Oxford and an orphanage in Haiti. The school partnered with Feed the Hungry, a global food charity, as a way to raise money for their school and give back. @olemiss Cheerleaders stopped by to encourage the students as they packed.

The soup kitchen runs on a combination of volunteers like Ann, two or three paid staff, and people who were convicted of a crime and sentenced to perform community service. If you ever get sentenced to community service, the soup kitchen is the place you want to serve that setence. Everybody treats everybody like they are family. It is a ton of work to feed 100 to 200 people a day. But it is fun work.

As I've spoken with several food banks in the Ft Myers/Lee County area I've been surprised to find they need can openers. As they rely heavily on canned food donations, and are often giving it to people who have little or nothing it makes perfect sense they would need them ... it just never occurred to me!
Smithfield Foods, Patrick Cudahy and UFCW delivered 100,000 servings of protein on February 11, 2010 to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin in Milwaukee. This donation is part of Smithfield’s larger “Feeding the Hungry’ commitment to donate 20 million servings coast to coast over the next three years. Roundy’s Supermarkets also participated in the event.
