MIDNIGHT RUN
NEW YORK CITY
OCTOBER 2007
Students volunteer to go out into the streets of Manhattan and feed and clothe the homeless. Midnight Run is a volunteer organization dedicated to finding common ground between the housed and the homeless. Volunteers first make sandwiches then distribute them along with clothing, blankets and personal care items to the homeless poor on the streets of New York City.
Its goal is to forge a bond between housed and homeless people by establishing a foundation of sharing and caring from which solutions may evolve. Through Midnight Run, volunteers come to see the homeless as real people, not a commodity. And homeless men and women learn that many people have commitments and concerns that go beyond their own lives and families. Each Caldwell College athletic team has at least two representatives that have participated in a run.
