In the midst of a Saturday afternoon walk aimed at raising awareness of homelessness in the Estevan area and raising funds for the Warm Welcome Shelter that houses those without shelter was the reminder that there would be people sleeping outside that night.
Just over two years after the Salvation Army and St. Paul's United Church decided there was something that could be done to shelter the homeless in the city, the issue has only grown. More people are finding themselves without sufficient shelter for at least a brief time in the Energy City, and the shelter housed more than 40 unique individuals during its open season last year, from December to March.
The shelter organization hosted a walk Sept. 13 that featured various areas of the city, outlining a narrative as to how people find themselves without a home.
See the Sept. 17 edition of theMercury for the full story.
