This is wonderful. Homeless is one accident and 90 days away. It's so true.

I've been homeless. Job apps seevthe address of a homeless shelter and throw it away.
To anyone wanting to work a 40 hrs a week or more job. Mapleton Caterpillar Plant in Mapleton, Illinois is always hiring. They can't get applicants. It's factory work, but good benefits for a family too.

When I was homeless I found it impossible to find a job because I didn't even have an address

This is my home state, but not hometown. I think this is a very good reason to live in a small community that I do. This has to be a very scary lifestyle, just trying to exist

God Bless this church for helping these people. Homeless people these days are mostly working poor, not systems players.

There needs to be a reliable program that helps the homeless get back up on their feet. Homelessness sucks and ever since the housing 1606 law came it's been even harder. Imagine getting arrested and criminalized for not having a home. Being homeless is not a crime.

I'll go to her church because she is doing the right thing
