To me, this is how we’re going to change the world. One good deed at a time.
These people could choose to dehumanize the homeless and condemn them for the situation they’re in, but instead they get together to help them. This is the right way to make things better for all – through kindness.

Sunday, September 9, 2007Kids may be back in school, but it’s still summer and still hot, especially for those who can’t afford an Aquafina or Aquapod and don’t even have a tap to open or a glass to fill with water.
Enter Operation Chillout, the outreach ministry at St. Luke Roman Catholic Church in Long Valley.
Through Labor Day, parishioners have been donating cases of bottled water to distribute to homeless people in Dover, Morristown and beyond. The more than 100 cases collected created a “wall of water,” as Deacon Ray Chimileski called the stacks of bottled water that lined two walls in the church’s narthex.
