Introducing "Housing the Homeless" - Your Help is Needed!! 💜
Because of the recent health crisis, homeless men, women, and children were rescued off the streets and out of tent villages in Baton Rouge. They're now being moved into more permanent housing, but don't have essential household items. The Christian Outreach Center of Baton Rouge (in partnership with the Louisiana Housing Corporation), is gathering needed household donations. Learn more about how you can be a part of this movement with just a donation today 👉https://christianoutreachcenterbr.com/housing-the-homeless/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Housing%20the%20Homeless%202020&utm_content=Brian's%20Video
