If you haven’t had your fill of soccer just yet, come out to watch some games and support a good cause. Street Soccer USA, an organization focused on eradicating homelessness and poverty through soccer programs and community building, along with HELP USA will be holding the 2010 Street Soccer USA Cup in DC this weekend at the Washington Kastles Stadium. The SSUSA Cup will bring more than 200 players — comprised of homeless men and women from around the country — in a competition to see which team can take home the Cup title. The top 8 players will go on to represent the US at the Homeless World Cup, which will be held in Brazil next month. While the soccer matches are free, you’ll have to go online and reserve your e-tickets for the game of your choice. For more information on the full schedule, check out their website at streetsoccerusa.org.
Thanks Tom Block for inviting me to volunteer with Miriam’s Kitchen. Miriam’s is now opening it’s door to the area’s homeless for free homecooked, healthy dinners 5 days a week. We served 130! I loved the fact that it’s like a restaurant with table seating and fresh flowers! The kitchen which serves free breakfast & lunch too really needs coffee & cereal.
