We have an epidemic of poverty and homelessness in America. It’s a sorrow we all live with and a solvable problem we must work to change. Each of us can do something. Join us as we talk with John Lozier, Executive Director of the National Health Care for the Homeless Council. This is a heart-full organization whose size has not diminished its capacity to truly care—in fact, the opposite is true. They work from the foundational premise that homelessness is unacceptable. That every person has the right to adequate food, housing, clothing and health care. And that all people have the right to participate in the decisions that affect their lives. Toward this end, they advocate for the homeless to insure them adequate housing, health care and access to meaningful work.

Generosity takes many forms and being an organization dedicated to nurturing the seed of generosity in every human heart, in the past 25 years, Bread for the Journey chapters have invested many dollars and our chapter volunteers have given many hours of time to serve those in need. Join us for this enlightening conversation about the plight of the homeless and ways we can help.
