Before the people in need come inside the volunteers form a circle and pray (Cornell 1).

Although, without benefiting personally, make clear an answer and muster up the fortitude to attempt a solution. I believe this very notion was embodied by Ms. Dorothy Day.

Day's "cause," the controversy is being rekindled. After converting, she dedicated her life to New York's poor and immigrants, building hospitality homes that operated much like homeless shelters. Her endeavor grew into the national Catholic Worker movement, a social justice crusade conducted in revolutionary tones new to the church.      When she died, a multitude came down to the old dwelling off the Bowery to pay their
