A great article about our congregation’s truck stop ministry with those experiencing homelessness was published in The Burg, a publication centered around Harrisburg, PA.
You can check the article out here. Here’s just the first few paragraphs to get you started:
Ben* became homeless when his Carlisle landlord kicked the family out of their rental home. As a result, the family of seven—Ben, his wife and their five children—lived out of their minivan for six months.
“It’s hard to find a rental home with more than two bedrooms,” he said.
But they moved into another rental, and, within two months, the same thing happened. Once again, they were homeless for a period of six months.
It might surprise you to learn that, through it all, Ben worked full-time as a truck driver.

We often hear that most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. When I worked for PA Human Services I saw how an unexpected car repair or even a short illness can put a family into a financial death spiral. Without the help of family and friends it is often impossible to pull out of the dive. Your congregation’s commitment is a blessing to those you serve and our community.

And conservatives think everything is great. Maybe for the rich but many of our brothers and sisters have not seen the “wonderful things” Trump claims to have done. Brother, I think many Americans are fools. Let them have their guns and hate minorities and they are irrationally happy. They are willing to turn their backs on the Constitution as long as they can enforce their imagined superiority over others.
