Someone decided to start "Freestyle Volunteering" in Seattle.
The idea is that they (as you can see on the page) meet at a cafe for an hour once a week with someone who's socially isolated by mental illness or homelessness. An incredibly noble idea, that must have been borne from the notion that hey, a person needs more than food and water to grow.

Jake, thank you for publicizing Freestyle Volunteer! Your blog is so informative. I enjoy poking around in it and found the Orwell quote (Jan 16) great food for thought.
What a fascinating idea.
