You were just found a few minutes ago on the bus bench. I was raising money for a shelter that hadn't completely formed yet. We didn't know it, but our lives would be changed forever.

I think the best years of our lives started that day of the bus bench. Like a few stray strands forming a rope, we were definitely part of something bigger. COSAC was just starting out and we were just finding our purpose. Once you were with us we knew what we were supposed to be.

The Homeless Voice and it's emergency cold weather outreach was very successful last night.

A special thank you to everyone who dropped off blankets and sweatshirts. We were able to have plenty of warm clothes for everyone who needed it.

The cold weather is still here. If you want to help us with a donation, please click here
