Volunteers walk trail of need

For most of the 20 participants, the Reality Walk on Saturday morning was a tour through a side of Lawrence few people visit.
The group was guided through Lawrence service organizations and given a glimpse into the day-to-day lives of those who are hungry or homeless.
Many of these organizations are in need of volunteers, and walk organizers said the tour had shown the group, which consisted mostly of KU students, where they could get involved. The walk also raised $126 for the Jubilee Cafe, a free breakfast program that serves meals restaurant-style to those in need Tuesday mornings at the Trinity Episcopal Church, 1011 Vermont St.
"It's not enough to provide a meal," said Amy Turnbull, walk organizer and cafe volunteer. "Part of making a difference is forming relationships with people. I feel like those relationships have changed my life."
Turnbull said a study conducted two years ago had shown there were about 2,000 homeless people in Lawrence.
Steve Russos, San Diego, Calif,
graduate student, is new to
Lawrence and participated in the
walk to learn how to get involved.
"There is a lot to do, and it is so easy to get involved," Russos said. "I wanted to see what's around, what's available. I was surprised. There is so much stuff."
The group met at Trinity Episcopal Church and walked to the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St. The Salvation Army runs 80 community programs, among them a homeless shelter that opens Oct. 15 and closes May 1 and an emergency meal program that operates from noon to 1 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The shelter averages 20-30 people a night, but on cold nights the numbers can increase to 50, said Violet Windham, one of the shelter's managers.
The tour then stopped at Penn House, 1035 Pennsylvania St. The program provides free clothes and household items.
Next the group stopped at the Social Service League Store, 945 Rhode Island St., and toured the thrift shop that provides clothes and other items at a low cost. It also provides funds for eye exams and shoes
for children.
Manager K.T. Walsh said the shop always needed volunteers to sort through clothes.
"There is an enormous amount of clothing going into landfills, and we are trying to reclaim that." Walsh said.
