QUOTES

A man not only needs to know how to fish, he needs to have the freedom to do it and a place to do it. That's where community comes in. We have to help each other, and we feel government has a very important role therein.

we want to take people's success stories and re-write the ''story'' of hunger. There are things that have been working, and things we know can work. It may once have seemed like a hopeless story, but we're changing it to a hopeful one. This is healing on a social level.

We all need a place to tell our story; someone who will truly listen to us -- not try and solve our problems but just hear us. When someone feels they've been heard, it makes an enormous difference in their life. It gives them a sense of confidence. And, often, when you tell your story, you work things out in the telling.

I think people are genuinely seeking spirituality. There's a simple reason for this. In the midst of the daily grind of life, it's easy to forget we have a spirit, and we can get depressed, even sick. We are spirits as well as bodies, and spirits need nourishment.

The whole notion of people being connected, rather than isolated, is incredibly important.
