"I just wanted to say thank you to Addison and Alexandra (Chico Meal Outreach Coordinators) for putting in endless hours, endless unpaid extra hours. Not just that but for your care. It's not a job for you, it's about connecting with community." -- Kelly Munson
A handful of people reached out last week to thank me for producing the June 10th edition[1] of the Without a Roof radio program. Several said it was my best show ever. IMHO — tomorrows show is my best show ever. The compassion, care and honesty of humans being better in the worst of times is overwhelming me at the moment. Proximity is the shining light in a world that often manifests as cold and dark. This show is all about the light.
