Missouri state healthcare providers for a long time.

We're speaking with cameron corbett who working with the homeless population.

>> you have an event coming up, it's usually called walk for the homeless.

You're changing it up everyone is aware of the pandemic going on.

Just keeping everybody safe and also remind them of the walk for the homeless which is now a drive for the homeless.

And basically what we're doing instead of a lock this year downtown, we're doing a drive, parade style downtown.

That kind of goes by our partners that really support our homeless community in st.

So that's really what the focus is this year to keep everyone safe and just kind of support that community as best we can during this time.

What can you tell us about the homeless population locally there's a few things funding helps us get.

Can you tell our viewers about that.

It will get cold again.

We provide shelter, places like the cross, they do a lot with sheltering our homeless community and all of that on eighth street.

Drop in centers, judah house.

The haven.

And the services and what they do in our community >> they also i think will raise money for the i d cards, bus certificates and transportation needs as well.
