The Story of Homeless Children Shared at Lifetree Café The impact of homelessness on children will be explored at Lifetree Café on Wednesday September 4th at 7:00 p.m.. The program, titled “Children With No Place to Call Home: Helping Kids in Crisis,” features a filmed visit with homeless children and their parents, as well as with agency workers who assist homeless children. An estimated one in 50 children is homeless. Approximately 40 percent of those children are 5 years old or younger. “We see children who have lived in a car or outside, or who have spent time living from shelter to shelter, or hotel to hotel,” says Jennifer Herrera, executive director of Colfax Community Network, a homeless-outreach agency. “It makes me angry because we can do better.” Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café is located at Too Far North, Fort Calhoun NE 68023. Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual coffeehouse-type setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Gregg Miller at 402-468-5683 or ftcalhounpresbyterian@yahoo.
