Municipality’s have become so very heartless and inhumane concerning the low income and homeless, but thank God for the volunteers out there saving lives!
This is a system-wide problem in the United States and it's ridiculous to try to shift housing inadequacies on to churches. People want to be able to take care of themselves and affordable housing is a known pathway toward that goal.
My county in WA has a whole network of "Cold Weather" shelters that open overnight when the temperature dips below 34 degrees. Still, the red tape to open even an emergency temporary shelter is ridiculous.
It's probably NIMBYs, Not in my back yard people. Derailing projects everywhere in America by threatening and suing local cities and counties. Heartless, yes.
Yes there would be alot don't want help it's there choice to stay on the streets so people will be dying from the cold.Most churches are all about the money also.
Beware of unintended consequences. More giving attracts more taking. And having more homeless attracted to a cold winter climate could lead to more deaths.
I know it was cold outside it got really cold and I had to raise the temperature of heat I thought of homeless and especially buffalo New York those people that froze to death so sad
Julia, your thinking helped none but yourself. Just "thinking about" is not enough unless you start thinking about how NOT to be just another person staying in the warmth of their own little bubble just thinking; come up with ideas on actions you can take to make things better for someone else going through such harsh weather and time spent homeless, and then ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING
Putting a band aid on a sucking chest wound will not help the problem. The majority of homeless are addicts or mentally ill. There is not a homeless problem; there is an addiction and mental illness problem. Those that want to be helped should be helped ( government provides enough funding) but many people do not want to be helped. People that want to get off the streets can get off the streets but if people refuse to do anything to better their situation; nothing can be done.
El Paso Mayor got millions to provide buses to house illegals crossing border as well as provides Red Cross to give out blankets food and the City of El Paso has put out those portables so they can use toilets and they offer them transportion to where ever they like to go. 1st Responders channel has all the scoop and video first hand on where they are coming in illegally. And yes its being allowed🤷🏽♀️ aside from the title 42 seekers .. those are being housed separately and have been processed legally.
Let me just let everyone know I know a lot of homeless people they’re not cold at all because I live in Phoenix Arizona they are all smoking blues. You’ll see a lot of tinfoil with burn marks throughout the camp. 😂 they’re not cold at all. They’re up all the time you’ll see it foil empty lighters, and homeless people passed out slumping everywhere so no, don’t feel bad for them when you give them money you’re just helping them with their addiction if the homeless wanted to help, they would clean them self up and get a job and work and get off the drugs
Yeah so dangerous, out of all the people the church helped during these movie nights to get out of the weather, how many committed a crime or did any disturbing thing that would negate them being invited back during the next storm? Please find the answer so as to prove the validity of your comment
Leave the drug and alcohol users out there. Wasting our resources and money and even our feelings. They don’t have to be homeless. There are plenty especially in this liberal town to help them get off drugs and find housing . Help them with job , mental health resources. But they chose to stay on the streets to do drugs and not work to make money. So give me a break. Never again will I give money.
Thank you united methodist church for helping the homeless.
Municipality’s have become so very heartless and inhumane concerning the low income and homeless, but thank God for the volunteers out there saving lives!
This is absolutely heartwarming. Finally a church that cares about the most vulnerable. AMEN!!!!!!!
The catholic and LDS churches work all year long helping people. They all should be helping. It's nice this methodist church also stepped up.
@@triciac1019 Amen Tricia C, amen. Down in the South, where I live, the LDS & Catholic Churches do many humanity projects together as well.
Mayor Mendenhall has failed. Not only failed, but has made it worse than it was before by treating homeless as criminals. Truly heartless

More needs to be done.
Close the borders
@@ednaloftin361That would definitely help.🇺🇸
God may bless all of you volunteers helping people in total desperation and abandonment perhaps even by their own family. 😢 sad.
Please, keep helping.
Can anyone explain why there is a moratorium on building shelters? That seems heartless
It is heartless.💔 I’ll Never understand that rule.
It's probably NIMBYs, Not in my back yard people. Derailing projects everywhere in America by threatening and suing local cities and counties. Heartless, yes.
Utah has one of the most corrupt government
A moratorium on shelters are there moratorium on Ukraine sending money too hidden homeless trying to sweep homeless underfoot
Piss poor leadership by that mayor! Plain and simple.
that last woman made me cry. we want less people to pass away.
We All Can Be In That Position 🙏🏽 Sending Prayers
They say the city and state are not doing enough but what about the homeless doing something for themselves!?
Every Church should be doing this! If they would, there would be no one dying from the cold.
Yes there would be alot don't want help it's there choice to stay on the streets so people will be dying from the cold.Most churches are all about the money also.
Prayers. For. Them

Wonderful!!!
Why not provide supported housing with staff on site to help get people straight ,
God bless them

Politicians 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Let them stay in the bunkers under the schools. Public domain
😆😆😆😆
From 8am to 7:30 am? It's still freezing out at 7am. And of cause they make you pray for hours in return.

City county state residents doing other people like that ordered no cold weather or cooling shelter
This is beautiful 😍.
Nimbys backyards extend to their own gated fence And no further. Oh suing city derailing thinking only of themselves and not the most poor

Human to Human that's all it takes it not how much you know the Bible verse by verse but it's in helping your own flesh and blood like you
What's even easier than this is campaigning for Republican candidates.
Take them into YOUR home. These PEOPLE are dangerous

This shows the heart of the LDS church.....nothing like Jesus.

If they came over the border..they would have housing..food..and medical care
@@annieoakslee just stop.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANTLY SAID!!
Indeed. NEVER give money to a panhandler. It does more harm than good for both panhandler and community.
Sadly you have no real understanding of addition.
