SERVING THE HOMELESS: MIDNIGHT RUN Thursday, October 5, 2006.
Produced by Marc Sophos and Christine Potter at WDFH Lower Hudson River Hudson River Valley's Community Radio Alternative Dobbs Ferry, New York. Midnight Run is a homeless support organization based in Dobbs Ferry, New York, just north of New York City. In this week's Sprouts, we go along on a Midnight Run, and talk to Midnight Run volunteers as they bring food, clothing, and companionship to the street homeless of Manhattan.
We also hear from Dale Williams, Midnight Run's executive director, who was homeless himself when Midnight Run volunteers approached him with help.
Midnight Run believes that solving the problem of homelessness involves more than feeding and clothing those without a place to live. The group changes lives by bringing people who have homes into direct contact with people without homes--and putting a human face on a growing urban problem.
Sprouts is a weekly program produced in collaberation with community radio stations and independent producers across the country that features local radio production from many radio stations and local media groups. The program is offered free of charge to all radio stations. For information, or if you would like to feature your work on Sprouts, contact Ursula Ruedenberg at ursula@pacifica.org Left KU Channel
