In the News
What follows is a compilation of links to articles and videos that illustrate the work we have just begun, on behalf of our brothers and sisters who live in the shadows of our cities, in tents and in sleeping bags. For all of us who have ever experienced poverty of body, mind or spirit, we rededicate ourselves to loving one another and providing "Safe Ground" or "a place to be" for every, man, woman and child, and their pets. What is more important for us to accomplish?
