5th Annual Sack Lunch Chuck Wagon<br />
<strong>January</strong> 12th – Feb 3rd, <strong>2018</strong><br />
Every year, the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo (FWSSR) hires<br />
day laborers to work 12-hour shifts, 7 days per week. Each of the<br />
day laborers makes minimum wage. Many of the day laborers are<br />
homeless. Over the years, a good number of formerly homeless hires end up<br />
with full-time jobs with the City of Fort Worth because of the good work<br />
they did during the FWSSR.<br />
Here’s the rub: eating at the stock show can be expensive and options<br />
within walking distance are slim. SHCC is taking part once again by<br />
providing 225 sack lunches of non-perishable food items that were<br />
put together during December 31st 5th Sunday service day and will be<br />
delivered for one of the Stock Show days of the Fort Worth Stock Show and<br />
Rodeo, because that is how many day laborers work each day.<br />
By the end of the <strong>2018</strong> FWSSR, TCT will have provided a total of 6,000 sack<br />
lunches for homeless day laborers, enabling them to have a good meal.<br />
WORKSHOPS JAN 20TH 8AM<br />

<strong>January</strong> 20th starting at 8am. The workshops will be at the Riley Center at<br />
