Did you know that there were around 2,500 homeless people in Sioux City last year -- about 250 or 300 on the streets on any given day? Another little-known fact is that slightly over 25% of Siouxland's homeless are veterans, ranging from those who served in Vietnam to the Iraq/Afghanistan war. There are entire families living on the streets. Children. It's not a good situation.
So, off to the park went the volunteers last November 7th. They took pledges, packed up their tents (and cardboard boxes in a few cases) and off to the park they went. It was such a success that they're going to do it again in 09! We're gonna have an auction, a box contest, maybe even a live band if the weather holds!
Please help us make 2009 as successful as 2008!
