Feeding the Homeless

We just wrapped up another season of providing help feeding the homeless at the VFW on 7th Ave .



The need does not end here. Homelessness exists year round and these people need our help.

Did you Know?

· Over half a million people are homeless

· One quarter of homeless people are children

· Tens of thousands of veterans are homeless

· Domestic Violence is a leading cause of homelessness among women

· Many people are homeless because they cannot afford rent

· There are fewer places for poor people to rent than before

· In the last few years millions have lost their homes

· There isn't as much government assistance as you may think

· One in five homeless people suffers from an untreated mental illness

· Many Cities are increasingly making homelessness a crime

How can I help?

Here are just a few of the many local organizations providing services to the homeless population that need your help!
