This week, host Dr. Great speaks with Lynita Spain, Director of Community Resources at Parkview Community Missions in Lynchburg, Virginia. We're tackling the critical issues of homelessness, poverty, and hunger in American households.

Lynita challenges common misconceptions, revealing that "homelessness doesn't have a face" and affects people from "all walks of life". Discover how Parkview offers vital "help, healing, hope" through their free food pantry in a food desert, as well as financial assistance, clothing, and life skills support. They've seen demand surge from around 200 to about 500 families a week!
