Educational Action

 

We will be launching the Heart and Sole Project on February 16, 2000.

House the Homeless, Inc. and the Lauterstein-Conway Massage School and Clinic will join forces to reach out to Austin’s homeless community and touch them with the gift of a foot massage.

These two community oriented organizations have collaborated in creating this unique program called HEART AND SOLE.

It will launch on February 16th from 3:00- 5:00 PM at Austin’s Resource Center for the Homeless, ARCH.

Massage therapists will soak, cleanse, and massage the feet of some of Austin’s homeless persons in this, the 1st of a regular outreach nurturing program that will repeat on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month thereafter. Recipients will be provided with new socks and footwear to help put a spring into their step.

Recipients of the nurturing package will be asked for a $5.00 contribution for the purpose of instilling a sense of value (“a hand up not a hand out”). Proceeds will be used to offset some of the costs of the program.

Heart and Sole is another incubator project of House the Homeless, Inc.
