Tonight was the first Don't Walk By of 2011. The zone this week was the Upper West Side, an area know for old money and not many homeless people. There is a fabulous church in this zone that welcomes and serves those who are homeless and/or struggling in the area. It is called All Angels Church. Through the outreach, Betel now has one new man in the program. Pictured above are photos and video from this evening. Photo credits (except for last two and video) go to Caitlin Stiefel and Juan Galloway.
The numbers for tonight are as follows:
Volunteers - 240
Homeless engaged on the street - 99
Hosted at anchor church - 55
Assessed by Resource/Medical teams - 26
Transported to bed - 12
Transported to hospital - 2
Transported to detox - 1
