Video Production: Social Work Advocacy

I created this video also for Union Rescue Mission. Whenever the temps in Downtown Los Angeles hit 85 degrees or above, a group of staff and volunteers gather together to pass out cold water to the people on Skid Row. They call it , "A Water Walk". Water is not necessarily given to those who are homeless either. Construction workers, police officers, postal handlers, and anyone else who is working in the community.

As a faith-based organization, Union Rescue Mission goes by the following verse for their or Mark 9:41: "Truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward." ESV.
