Kartson, a member of an outreach program that feeds the hungry on the streets of New York City. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough these monthly Soup Runs over the last 10 years, the group has served more than 10,000 meals to their guests on 33rd Street. In these pages, you will learn about real people with real challenges. These individuals have taught Kartson so much, and she's privileged to pass their stories and lessons on to you. They are just like the rest of us, but they're often unseen -- passed over and lonely.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor years, via e-mails to the volunteers and supporters, Kartson has summarized the highlights of their Soup Runs. These first-person accounts offer a glimpse into the lives of those struggling every day with poverty and hunger. She has compiled those e-mails and accompanying comments from members of the outreach into \u003ci\u003eLast Night's Soup Run\u003c\/i\u003e to inspire others to help the hungry and homeless. Whether it's sharing one meal or starting your own Soup Run (which Kartson's book will help you do), you can pass on this tradition of compassion, dignity, and love. Kartson's hope is that the compassionate among us continue to love them and feed them until none who walk among us are hungry or homeless.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy purchasing this book, you are helping the very people you're reading about: All proceeds go to Philoxenia, a nonprofit founded by Kartson, which provides funding for organizations that feed the hungry and care for the homeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthoula Deknatel, Despina C.
