(Pictured, Freda Nelms and Alexandra Hartfield, of MDHA, at the inclement weather shelter at Oak Lawn UMC, one night in early January.)
Over the course of the last few weeks, our President and CEO, Joli Angel Robinson, had the chance to chat with many of the folks involved in the massive efforts, across Dallas and Collin Counties, to keep our homeless friends safe during inclement weather. We gradually posted them on our social media, but wanted to make sure everyone could access them in one place.
You can read more about all of the inclement weather shelter efforts in Dallas and Collin Counties in a previous blog post.
