I had a great interview and conversation with one of the most giving and true souls I think I've ever met yesterday. Her name is Pastor Carolyn Hagen, and she is all about helping people who need it.

NEW BUILDING TO SERVE COMMUNITY

Pastor Carolyn has been helping the homeless and those in need for well over 20 years. I asked her what it was that drove her to do the kind of work she does. Without going into detail, she said that people can end up homeless, or in need of food or other services due to no fault of their own. She had many stories to tell that were uplifting. She said that people sometimes just need to know somebody out there cares. There are stories that none of us would wish on our own children, about young people who ended up homeless and have no idea how to survive.
