One of the biggest hurdles for those trying to overcome homelessness is the lack of employment. Employment becomes an obsticle because of the lack of transportation.
It's hard to get a job much less keep a job, if you don't have reliable transportation.
Over the past few months I have seen jobs available out near Hanover Air Park and Short Pump.
The problem; no buses go out that far!
There are lots of folks needing jobs and there are jobs available!
I know of four jobs that were open and I could not fill because of the lack of transportation!
Wouldn't it be great to find a bus or a van and make it happen!
Charles told me he knows a possible driver. If we fill it with 15 people it would be self sustaining.
What could it look like?
Start in Northside drive to Hanover Air Park , Short Pump and back!
When I told Mark of the idea, he said he would call a pastor friend of his. Mark called his friend and asked if he had a passenger van we could use. His friend responded very surprised!
He said no he didn't have a van, but he was right in the middle of applying for a grant to get a passenger van!
I'm praying for a bus!
