The Beginning

Well at least the beginning of this blog. Matt and I have decided to participate in a new Non-Profit in Kansas City called Project Change. The intention is to get people to use creative solutions that help the Kansas City Community. You can go to the website to read more about the teams participating and other ways to get involved. 

Our first task is Warmth for the Homeless.  After reading some material we realized that there is a real misunderstanding of who we perceive the homeless to be and who the homeless really are. We realized there must be a change of mind to spur others to take action. The plan is to start with ourselves, by pledging to be mindful of the homeless population and ways that we help.

It is the little things that embody our plan for change. A few that come to mind are bring two sandwiches to work instead of one, ask your kids/friends to move game night to the nearest shelter, keep extra gloves in your car. We want to document the outcome on this blog not to be haughty but to show anyone reading this that change starts small and simple. We want you to be a part. If you fulfill a need, have an idea, know of a good cause, post it and be a part of the change!

Future tasks will include: Feed the Hungry, Save the Planet, and Nurture the Children.
