Alexandria Musser, right, stated, "St. Petersburg Free Clinic truly
stands as a beacon of hope in the community. My plunge
transcended more than volunteer work in that each step of the way I
was experiencing poverty through the eyes of those who know it
best. My final evening in the Women's Shelter, a local church group
prepared a meal for the women and passed out sheets of paper with
inspiring quotes. The final quote voiced a Native American Proverb,
"Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I may not remember. Involve me
and I'll understand." This, I feel, summarizes both my personal
experience and what I believe to be the first step in combatting
poverty."

Charles Johnson, left, wrote, "Pertaining to my stay
at Beacon House, I was fairly surprised at how well it
was run and how accommodating it was to the
homeless men of St. Petersburg. My experience in
Urban Plunge was something I cannot fully describe
in words. It's one thing to talk about poverty and its
causes, and it's a whole other thing to witness it
firsthand and listen to stories of individuals who
would be viewed by most as failures."
