By now you should
be wondering what the Y.A.C.H.T. stands for. We do not sail,
canoe, row, etc. Y.A.C.H.T. stands for Youth Against Complacency
and Homelessness Today. We are now located at Eastern College in
St. Davids, PA, a few minutes outside of Philadelphia. Our mission is simple, but pressing. We, as a
group, feel led to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ as He
told His followers to Feed the hungry, and clothe the naked.
As we grow in numbers, and the visitors to our site increase, we
feel the need to post a little more information on us and our history.
Along the way, we found the time to protest workfare and Pennsylvania's new welfare
"reform" bill. Read all about it!
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." Isaiah 58:6-10 (NIV)
