That is definitely a thing. We are down to only one permanent emergency shelter for men in LR and they charge by the night after 10 nights each month. If you will DM your email I'll try to send a good resource guide in a bit.

Thanks for caring, @Acxiom. These wipes are desperately needed and extremely convenient to distribute to our unsheltered neighbors. #AcxiomCares #homeless #homelessness #LittleRock #Arkansas #ARhomeless

Wanna do something awesome for people who are unsheltered? Put a case of these individually wrapped rolls in your trunk. Introduce yourself to people out there. Give them some TP. Check on them next week. amazon.com/dp/B07DHV6MZH/ref… #homeless

Unfortunately The Van was in an accident last night. Everyone is ok, but our workhorse is not. It'll likely be down a few weeks as the front end suffered significant damage. We should be able to have a little substitute van ready by tonight's run. Plz be patient with us :)
