The Book that Started it All

It began with the book Under the Overpass by Mike Yankoski. My friend, Hazel, had heard about it, read it and remembering my passion for the homeless, gave me a copy. With inspiration from the book, ideas began pouring out of me and the project began.

I bought some books and started loaning them to anyone interested and set up a booth at our Youth Sunday activities. It has snowballed from there into a full-fledged program at our church. The stories of the homeless people we have met and those who are helping them will follow. You might be surprised by both.
