The Good Guys

We all know about organizations like the Salvation Army, Union Gospel Mission and the Presbyterian Night Shelter here in Fort Worth who provide services to the homeless community. While they are the largest and best known, there are many more who in their own way provide many of the same services but are not so well known or recognized for their hard work and caring.

Over the next few months I am going to talk about some of these lesser known organizations or groups of caring people. Some of these are church groups,, ministries and non-secular organizations. Some are just individuals who care and do what they can. Many of these groups and individuals I’ve personally come into contact with over the years.

The one thing they all have in common is that they really care and can take the time to personally talk to those they serve in the homeless community.

Some of the organizations I plan to talk about in future postings are Beautiful Feet Ministries, Hands of Hope, and the people who operate Unity Park. Others that I will be covering will be the groups and individuals who come down to Lancaster Ave. on Saturday mornings to distribute food and clothing.

If you know of a group, organization, church ministry or individual that I should cover in these posts please send me an email with a few details and contact information to garthkirksr@hotmail.com . These people deserve a pat on the back too.
