Lee County has more than 3,400 homeless people living out of their
cars, under bridges, in the woods and various other places where the
police will allow them to sleep.
They are in need of shelter, yet all the shelters are, and
have been, full for months.
These people
LCM is trying to open a place known as
God’s Place
that will provide essential life skills, social skills, and
practical work experience.
We wish to have our “graduated” residents to be able to
integrate back into society as wholesome individuals.
Individuals from the community who have an interest in helping the
homeless succeed, need to call Ron Willis at 239.574.5683.
Any person who is taken off the streets will be considered a
victory. Our first primary
focus is getting the families with children off the
streets. We have put
entire families on the bus and sent them back to their kin in other
states. We have given gas cards to people traveling “back home”, and
we have provided
mechanical repairs to people’s cars to help them get to work.
