As temperatures continue to drop, we can't help but think about what's being done to keep those who do not have a place to stay warm.
Horizon House tells WRTV that the demand for homelessness assistance has increased since last year. They said everyone can play a part in keeping those individuals safe this winter."It's not getting any easier out there on the street, and when it gets colder like this, then it just makes matters worse," said Teresa Wessel, Executive Director at Horizon House."Right now, our numbers are up over last year. Through October, we've seen just shy of 6,000 unique individuals.
"Early October, we partnered with Amazon and one warm coat, and we got 300 brand new coats. They're gone. We just got another load of coats from a local company, and they're gone," Wessel said."They're going out every morning to the campsites that they know of to make sure that folks are safe. What they need, bringing as many supplies as we have," said Wessel.
"I can take my breath and open my coat up and breathe down there. It's more body heat. So, I got about one, two, three, four layers on now," Stubblefield Jr. said.
