Veteran Gives His Home Away to a Family Displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
University of California's
Disgraceful Attacks on the Berkeley Free Box - Imagine if the powers
that be marched into every church, confiscated all the poor boxes,
outlawed all the free clothing programs, and banned charitable meals.

down on People's Park and demolish its free clothing program -- the free
box.
Berkeley Holds an 'Awesome' Fair for
Homeless Youth - Being homeless means more than not having a warm,
safe place to sleep. It means having a hard time getting decent food,
finding warm clothing, gaining access to medical and dental care,
keeping track of personal papers and belongings, keeping in touch with
family and friends, staying in contact with potential employers, and
taking care of a myriad of other needs that those of us who are
comfortably housed take for granted.
The Berkeley Free Box
Poetry Contest - On April 23, on People's Park anniversary, Charles
