Last December 23,2012, alumni members of Lourdes School Quezon City, together with some family members and friends, gathered at the Union Rescue Mission | The Way Home in downtown LA - a family center providing food, clothing and shelter to the less fortunate. URM is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving men, women, and children experiencing homelessness. It was established in 1891 and is currently the oldest and one of the largest rescue missions of its kind in the United States.
The group acted as volunteers in support of the organization's slogan, We embrace people experiencing homelessness with the compassion of Christ - giving hope and healing for a changed life - helping them find their way home.
The team, consisting of fifteen members, called this project Operation Gratitude which aimed to share time and service to those in need. The members fully realized that despite the trials that may have come our way, we are still blessed and should share with the less fortunate and the homeless our time to give them hope for a happier life.
