As we approach winter, our homeless neighbors are facing hardships like hunger and the risk of hypothermia – and overwhelming hopelessness. One man, Daniel, shared, “I was so hungry, I was in pain. … It was an experience that I hope nobody would have to go through.”
But Daniel — and others like him — are finding hope through local rescue missions. You can be part of this life-changing ministry when you partner with 106.9 the Light. Just $2.00 provides a warm meal and life-changing care during this holiday season. How many can you provide?
