Getting ready to take out more meals this weekend. Depending on how things go in Washington, will determine if the homeless count increases dramatically.<br />
<br />
It is becoming more and more apparent that if the homeless, poor and needy are going to be helped to any great extent, it is going to have to come from each and every one of us. One helping one. <br />
<br />
This picture is of some of the people I help feed on a regular basis without any kind of assistance. I will be able to go out more often once I get a car. If an unemployed, single mom, without a car can help, surely a lot of you can do that and much more. Am I trying to put pressure on you? Yes. What would happen to you if your company suddenly downsized?hislovereachinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05343668777509639988noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375363473770662313.post-74531884478477191452011-07-17T09:55:00.000-07:002011-07-17T09:55:10.352-07:00Myths about the homeless<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, tahoma, verdana, arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">There are many myths and stereotypes about the <a href="http://bangordailynews.com/2011/04/01/health/myths-about-homelessness/"><b>“homeless”</b></a>. Myths and stereotypes come about due to misconceptions born of ignorance, overgeneralizations from a single experience, and poor access to the real facts. Since the homeless population is often called “the invisible population,” it is understandable why these myths and stereotypes develop and why they persist. However, myths and stereotypes can be challenged by facts and broken down by those willing to take a fresh look at what they thought they knew. The following are some common homelessness myths, along with the facts that challenge them.</span>hislovereachinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05343668777509639988noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375363473770662313.post-75837069371600733382011-07-12T13:47:00.000-07:002011-07-12T13:47:52.561-07:00Stand Down's Information Page about Homeless Veterans<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.standown.org/inamerica.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.standown.org/inamerica.jpg" /></a></div><b></b><br />
