Loaves and Fishes Goes to Washington
| For one week in July, CEO Jacki MacIntosh and Program Director Tom Crees attended the National Alliance to End Homelessness conference in Washington DC. They participated in small groups, attended lectures, met Missouri representatives to talk about the importance of ending homelessness, and gave our elected officials a sneak peek at our mobile H.O.M.E. unit. As homeless advocates, we discussed legislation, including the new Missouri House Bill NO. HG1606, which negatively impacts our homeless community. Our concers were heard by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), and their representatives, along with representatives from Senator Eric Schmidt’s (R-MO) office. We look forward to presenting at next year’s conference. Jacki MacIntosh, CEO |

Refugees of War

It’s been an honor to provide this kind of support, and we are proud to be aking a difference in the lives of these families. *Names changed to protect identity. |
