George, Mary and their four children were referred to us from Social Services because they were homeless. We met them at a McDonald’s and quickly purchased them something to eat then got them into a motel. Next day I went to Second Harvest and was able to stock them with food and also purchased a microwave along with pots and pans. We continued to assist the family with food and shelter for approximately six months. Long story short, we helped the family to get into their own apartment, George has a job now and all the children are in school, happy and healthy. This family is now fully self-sufficient and connected to the resources in their own community.
