Summary
Pastor Tom Barber’s ninth annual Gimme Shelter event is in full swing—24 straight hours, no sleep, no food, right outside the Hy-Vee at 84th and Holdrege, rain or shine. Starting Friday at 9 AM and ending Saturday at 9 AM, this isn’t just a stunt—it’s a powerful wake-up call to the community about homelessness. Barber, CEO of the People’s City Mission, is collecting donated water cases to distribute directly to those without homes, both at the mission and on the streets. He reminds listeners that for many, this is their daily reality—not a temporary hardship. He urges people to respond with compassion, offering food or water instead of money when they encounter someone in need. The mission remains open 24/7, ready to provide real help. This event isn’t just awareness—it’s a call to action. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
