Project H.O.M.E., a charitable organization that combats homelessness and poverty in this city, will hold its inaugural Young Friends Event tonight at 5:30.

Karl Martino, who founded Philly Future, wrote a moving post entitled The homeless aren’t who you think they are, which explores his own experience with homelessness, and shows why Project H.O.M.E. is so vital to this city.

I’m still not sure whether or not I can make it tonight, but even if I can’t, I’ve made plans to start volunteering with this organization. If Hurricane Katrina taught us anything, it’s that if we don’t stand together to fight poverty in this country, we’re going to fall apart.
