With regard to the increasing numbers of homeless folks, I am very afraid that this is only the tip of the iceberg. We must add to the statistics, the growing numbers of people, including "senior citizens," who now are living in their vehicles. Plus, a significant portion of the homeless are veterans of the U.S. military.

Almost every area in our country is being touched by homelessness or folks at-risk of losing their housing.

This results in all helping agencies, including Volunteers of America, St. Vincent de Paul, and local food banks, struggling to meet the increasing demand to help others in need.

Now, more than ever, these helping agencies need your help. Please consider sending a donation to your local VOA, S.V.d.P., and food bank, to help others less fortunate than yourself. Everyone can cut back a tad on buying coffee or lunch out, to try to help others. Whether it is $5, $10, $500 or more, every donation really does matter, and they need your $$ help NOW...
