We’re looking for a team of 3-5 to join us on Thursday, January 24 from 7pm-12am for the 2019 National Homeless Count. Members of St. Thomas have been participating in this event since 2017. One year, we met John, a 43-year-old veteran, living in his car between jobs. Everything he owned was packed into his compact SUV.
Why do we need to know John’s story?
Special Federal funds and resources are available, depending on the needs of the homeless population, but we need solid statistics on who is homeless in Dallas County.
- Veterans can get housing vouchers and medical care.
- Mothers with children can get food and healthcare to feed their children and keep them healthy.
- People living with HIV can get life-saving drugs on a regular basis.
“The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly, I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'” – Matthew 25:40
