Point In Time


http://appalachianhomeless.org/
 Hi folks! I'll be in Bristol tonight, so no cooking this evening...
The Appalachian Regional Coalition On Homelessness is performing their annual Point In Time count tonight. The count will start at the local United Way located on 8th St in Bristol (two down from State St). From there we will hit all the typical locations, YMCA and such, but then as the evening matures we will be hitting the streets for an all nighter. All the places where the less fortunate have sought refuge; under bridges, bypasses, alley ways, wooded areas, etc will need to be scoured also to get a true count of just how bad the homelessness situaton really is. By getting a realistic count and individual interviews with those agreeable to do so could result in more donations from both private and public entities. This is my first Point In Time count and hope the night goes well. It's probably gonna be colder than heck, but at least when I'm no longer needed, I can go back to my own home and enjoy heat, hot water, warm bed, etc....

Here's a link to their website for anyone that would like to know more....
