Homelessness Even In a Small Town

IMG_0962
The photo to the right just looks like a typical house, but it’s Clinton County’s one and only homeless shelter. This really was a slap in my face on what I perceived as rural homelessness. . I’ve toured huge organizations housing hundreds of people, yet I’ve never seen anything like this. In Wilmington, Ohio, a small town that has seen it’s share of crisis, homelessness is just as ugly as a big city. Clinton County Homeless Shelter offers hope to single men, woman and families.

    Mark ~ Yes, even in Grand Rapids, MN pop. 8,000 (in summer) 5,000 (in winter) there is lots of homelessness. However, there is no “home” for the homelessness. Our invisible ppl are housed at a church in the EVENINGS — not allowed in the bldg. during the day as it is being used by the “church ppl.” Supper is served. There is a Community “Cafe” that serves Supper on Tues. & Thursdays. Come on' up… I'll be HAPPY to show you around!
