Text Box: Thanks to the M.P.H.O., my husband & I have a place to go to place important phone calls, receive mail, shower, get clean clothes, and take time out to think when the stresses of being homeless start to take their toll. The Outreach has helped us in various other ways as well; like feeling better about ourselves as people, and our situation, as we are among the homeless. We know now things will get better. We have a renewed sense of faith, not just in ourselves and in each other, but in other people as well. We are treated like human beings, with respect and kindness, and not looked down upon because we are homeless. We have made quite a few friends since we started coming here. Thanks to the people at The Outreach, we realize now, we are simply homeless… NOT hopeless! Text Box: WE KNOW .... It happens to thousands...EVERYDAY! It’s called HOMELESSNESS… But, there are small, growing places that could help you get back on track… THE MID-PINELLAS HOMELESS OUTREACH (MPHO) is one of these places.
