The ceremony was organized by members of San Francisco's Homeless Outreach Team, who regularly wander the city's streets, looking for people who need a bed. They also provide case management to those who have been in and out of the shelter system. It's a tough job for those who got into this line of work to aid people. "We do our best to get through obstacles," said one veteran outreach worker, addressing the group. But sometimes the obstacles win.
