A short time ago, I was speaking with Suzan Couzens from the Grand Rapids Health Ministry Consortium about the work they are doing in the Heartside neighborhood with the homeless population. She told me about a wonderful service they provide called the Foot Spa. I invited her to visit Future Kulture and the students decided to produce a short documentary about the project.

The Foot Spa takes place once a month at the LaGrave Christian Reformed Church, 107 LaGrave Ave., and has been taking place since 2006. They provide foot care and shoes to those in need. The idea started when Suzan was trying to decide what was needed. Good inspired her to start the foot clinic. "Caring for the feet is a tool...to listening to their stories and being able to encourage them in their journey's," said one of the volunteers.

The documentary may be viewed above.
