They must be passionate about caring for people who have just gone through one of the worst or maybe even the worst day(s) of their lives. They must be willing to meet people where they are and be a calming presence in the middle of chaos.<\/p><h3>What if I am unable to attend a Lunch and Learn, can I still participate?<\/h3><p>Yes!
