Salt Lake City — John Hansen and his 10-year-old son Chase search the streets of Salt Lake City every weekend for the perfect person to take to lunch. Their only requirement is that the person is homeless.
They started Project Empathy four years ago, to share a meal with someone, listen to their story and figure out how they can help.
“The homeless took me in more than the people I actually knew here,” said one homeless woman named Monique.
Chase and John’s meeting with her was brief and John said it might be hard to keep in touch with her.
