Innvision is the Silicon Valley's (San Jose USA) largest provider of housing and services for homeless and at risk families and individuals. They have 20 sites throughout the San Francisco Bay area. Fellow initiates from San Jose Center participate in the food service program provided by Innvision. The first week of every month, we serve loving vegetarian food at the Julian Street Inn (around 70 clients) or at the headquarters (around 150?50 clients). The clients have a special way of showing their appreciation and how much they love the food; they clapping their hands in the middle of meal. We are so touched by this simple and warming gesture. There is a site in downtown San Jose that accepts donations such as clothes, computers and many other items. Those donations are free to all homeless or needy people. The facility also has a shower room and free daycare that the less fortunate families can use while they are looking for a job. The food service director, Lourdes Pollard, is a kind and open-mined person that has been working there as a volunteer for 15 years. She is the original founder of Julian Street Inn and has extended her work to the headquarters. Every Wednesday night at the headquarters, there is free medical consultation; doctors come from popular hospitals in the bay area. They also have a computer room with 15?0 desktop PCs that are available to all clients who wish to use it for their job search. Since 2004, NVIDIA, a Silicon Valley high-tech company, has joined forces with others to provide content resources, so the clients can access to most recent information via http://www.prnewswire.com/ http://www.innvision.org/index.html
