Panhandling: A Community Response

On Monday, August 23rd, around 300 people gathered together at the Basilica of Saint Mary to gain understanding for how we  respond to solicitation for money from a person panhandling. The event was hosted by the Downtown Congregations to End Homelessness and zAmya Theater Project. Powerful conversation and acted scenes focused on the dilemma of giving money to a person that is panhandling. Read more about the event and what we as a community can do here.

Stay tuned for Part 2 with focus on resources and long-term solutions. Details to be announced.
