It's easy to think about the homeless when blustery, below-zero temperatures make us wonder: How do people survive without shelter? But agencies that serve the homeless experience sharp decreases in donations and volunteers during the summer. Candace of the the Open Door Mission reminds us that--due to ailments like dehydration and heat exhaustion--summertime is NOT necessarily the "right time" to have to live on the streets. Check the Onow.com Community Events Calendar regularly to find out about community events at the Mission and witness how the dedicated folks there bring hope and relief to homeless men, women, and children every season.
