• JourneyAsheville: Building relationships with Asheville's homeless

  

  Jerry Nelson | 07/07/2011

  On Monday, July 4, a group of teenagers were handing out bowls of ice cream in Pritchard Park. Nothing unusual, really. There’s always something being given away to eat in the park. But I got to talking with one of the teenagers and was directed to Nichole, who filled me in on what was going on. It's the work of the Carolina Cross Connection, a youth Christian outreach project.

• A ride for the homeless

  

  Jason Sandford | 03/01/2010

  Don't tell Jerry Nelson he's not prepared for his cross-country bicycle ride. He's got a bike he hasn't ridden much, he doesn't have a support team, and he's still looking for a few sponsors. But nothing gets him fired up more than helping the homeless.
