Event Description:

One Brick volunteers will work with student volunteers from the Japanese Community Youth Council at the World Tree of Hope's post tree lighting reception located in the community room situated across the courtyard from the cathedral.

While the tree lighting festivities are taking place inside the cathedral, volunteers will help with:

• Gathering supplies to set up a beverage station

Rainbow World Fund:

Rainbow World Fund (RWF) is an all-volunteer international humanitarian service agency based in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and friends community. RWFs mission is to promote LGBT philanthropy in the area of world humanitarian relief. Founded in 2000 by members of the San Francisco LGBT community, RWF works to help people who suffer from hunger, poverty, disease, oppression and war by raising awareness and funds to support relief efforts around the world. RWF works in the LGBT and friends community educating people about world need. Along with raising our communitys consciousness, RWF raises funds to support humanitarian relief projects. RWF provides a united voice, a visible presence, and a structure to deliver charitable assistance from the LGBT community to the larger world community. RWF currently supports projects focusing on global HIV/AIDS, water development, landmine eradication, hunger, education, orphans and disaster relief. RWF also works to raise awareness of the charitable contributions of the LGBT community, and to establish connections with non-LGBT communities. RWF programs strengthen our community by increasing LGBT visibility, serving as a platform for our communitys compassion and concern and changing how the world sees LGBT people by building bridges with the larger world community.

In the United States we create The World Tree of Hope at Grace Cathedral annually.
