Volunteers bring blankets, food to Towson's homeless
Two
Rodgers Forge community activists have taken it upon themselves during
the recent cold spell to seek out Towson's homeless late at night and
offer them donated blankets and food. The first link includes 8
pictures and one video. The 2nd link is to the video only.
The
pair, both members of the local Citizens on Patrol, have been driving
around Towson in the early hours of the day (they usually start around
midnight), handing out blankets and food, and trying to find as many
people living on the streets as they can.
As Wednesday, Jan. 8 turned to Thursday, Williams and Falconer allowed me (Jon Sham) and a Towson Times reporter Jon Meoli to tag along in their tightly-packed sedan to document their experience.
