In episode 79 we speak with Jenn and Joe, a husband-and-wife team who have a passion for spreading love and forming relationships with their neighbors experiencing homelessness. They share their story of how Everybody Love Everybody began as a grassroots campaign, and how it has grown over the past couple years. They share about how much it has impacted their lives and completely flipped their pre-conceived notions about individuals living in homeless encampments. Jenn and Joe describe how important the act of choice can be, why trust can take a long time to build, and how complex homelessness really can be. This episode will change your perspective on how exactly to support our homeless community members and will inspire you to get involved.
