[The Network] Ride the Bus and Join Us for Solidarity BINGO during Lent

Hello!

We are launching a fun activity for Lent this year: Solidarity BINGO! Akin to taking the 'food stamp challenge' it is designed to offer activities that help the general public understand what it is like for low-income families to navigate their lives on public transportation.

Short of giving up your car for Lent, we think these activities - plus supporting stories, links and articles - will be a great way to educate people on how hard it can be when you rely soley on public transit.

You are welcome to join the fun - or keep an eye on the activites and information - to share with your supporters. In the end, we are hoping it increases general compassion toward the families we serve. (And also ... it could be fun.)

Here is a link to the launch on our blog: http://fejh.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/solidarity-bingo-for-lent/ and we will also be posting updates on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FatherEdJudyHouse and twitter feed: @FrEdJudyHouse using the hashtag #SolidarityBINGO

Happy Fat Tuesday!

Sincerely,

Wendy

"Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It's the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. " Frederick Buechner
