Homeless Ministries During Pandemic

At many churches, homeless ministries continue during pandemic

It was early March, and the daily routine at Atlanta’s Mercy Community Church had been thrown for a loop. Every Monday through Thursday, the church is a gathering place for around 50 people who are experiencing homelessness or are marginally housed to do everything from talking and sharing a couple of meals to working on getting help with legal and medical issues, as well as other needs. But suddenly, with the rapid spread of the coronavirus, gathering wasn’t a great idea.
