Meg McGuire's Fundraiser
Walk ‘n Roll with us and support the work of Faithful Fools!
Donate or help fundraise by planning a Walk ‘n Roll event in your own neighborhood or hometown.
I first met the Faithful Fools in 2017, as part of a street retreat with a group of seminarians from Starr King School for the Ministry. The retreat, and the Fools, made an impression that stuck with me. It was a sweet synchronicity to be reunited with the Faithful Fools when I began working at the First UU Society of San Francisco last year. Since then, I've been so grateful to journey alongside the Fools, to work with and learn from the accompaniment, advocacy and community that they weave together in the Tenderloin.
So, I hope you'll join me in supporting the Walk ‘n Roll in Solidarity fundraiser to benefit the dynamic street-level community work of Faithful Fools. At the heart of their work is honoring the worth of every being who all deserve housing, food, healthcare, education, along with respectful and supportive relationships. This fundraiser is a way of saying YES to life and doing so together.
I'll be joining in the walk from the Fool's court in the Tenderloin to Lands End. You can RSVP here and walk or roll along with us. You can also walk in your own neighborhood and give to support the work of the Fools and celebrate the incomparable Carmen Barsody's birthday! Your financial support would be greatly appreciated - no amount is too small, every penny counts!
Thank you for your generosity!

"I don't believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other person. I have a lot to learn from other people." - Eduardo Galeano (journalist, writer, historian)
