Open Door Mission’s President/CEO Candace Gregory will sit on a bench for 24 hours, starting on Oct. 8 at 2 p.m., rain or shine, aiming to shed light on the daily struggles many in our community face. You’re invited to engage in meaningful conversations during the event. Stop by ODM, ask Candace a question, and/or bring a donation of food or money. You can also view this on Facebook Live and YouTube Live. Candace will have special guests during the broadcast discussing various views on topics like homelessness, poverty, mental illness, policies and the needs and challenges of our community.
