Homeless Awareness March a Success

Over 700 people gathered on Saturday morning to raise awareness about homelessness. Together, they walked past the Salvation Army Women's Shelter, the Uptown Men's Shelter, and the Urban Ministry Center.

Homeless Helping Homeless was there in full effect.

Group members had recruited nearly 20 students from Davidson and UNCC, as well currently and formerly homeless individuals. We walked behind our HHH banner, wearing arm bands with the names of the homeless who died in the last year.

Thank you to Joey Honeycutt for making the armbands, all the community members who joined us, and to A Way Home, for putting on the March.

Together, we can end homelessness!

Pedro, a HHH member, stayed afterwards to help clean up. Thanks, Pedro!
