Hot or Cold? Challenges in Any Weather
Homelessness is a global problem. Unpredictable and harsh conditions create unique challenges in each climate for people living without shelter. Even the weather here in Tennessee can be challenging to the homeless population.

My Experience: More Than Words Can Express
It is hard to believe how quickly the last 7 months have gone by.
