A staggering number of people are homeless in Broome County. And we're talking about people from all walks of life- men, women and children and many who hide their homelessness from friends, family and even co-workers. I had the opportunity to sit down with Sherry from the Homeless Coalition of the Southern Tier to talk about the growing issue of homelessness in Broome County and I won't sugar coat it- the numbers are sad and staggering.

In addition to chatting about the very real problem of homelessness right here in our own backyard, Sherry discussed the 'Music for the Mission' concert happening at 7pm Tuesday (November 18, 2014) at Davis College. The concert will feature Jared Campbell and When Oceans Rise. Tickets are $5 at the door and every single penny will go to the Homeless Coalition's "No Freeze" fund.
