'Everybody Needs Dignity, and When it's Been Taken Away From You, You Need it Even More.'

'Everybody Needs Dignity, and When it's Been Taken Away From You, You Need it Even More.'

The cold winter months can be especially hard for people experiencing homelessness, but the faith communities in Columbia have collaborated to provide emergency winter shelter since 2008, hosted at various churches around the city – called Room at the Inn.

Jim Jantz and Rockie Alden, who both work with Room at the Inn, spoke about the health issues their guests most often face, as well as the importance of treating everyone with dignity.
