The New Homeless

Matt from The Salvation Army of Central Virginia has done a remarkable job of sharing their mission and their work through a weekly video. Here’s one in-depth story from this week’s video:

Danny’s story brings up a couple thoughts:

  • Richmond needs Rapid Transit. It’s going to take the counties and the city working together to transform the Metro Richmond region.
  • Danny is a new face of homelessness in Richmond. Granted I only saw a few minutes of his story, but Danny is young, physically able, and I am so impressed with his determination. Is this what you expected from homelessness?
  • Now this is a great mission. I’ve never heard The Salvation Army’s mission, but I heard it in Matt’s video this week:

Preaching the Gospel and meeting human needs in His name, without discrimination.

How far would you walk to get a job?
