THERE'S SOMETHING COMFORTING ABOUT BEING HOME ON A RAINY NIGHT. SWEATPANTS, A WARM BLANKET, SOMETHING GOOD ON TV, AND THE SOUND OF RAIN AGAINST THE WINDOWS.

BUT FOR OUR FRIENDS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, THAT SAME NIGHT CAN BE ABSOLUTE HELL.

IT'S IN THE LOW 60S NOW, WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE MID-50S OVERNIGHT AND RAIN CONTINUING.

IMAGINE SPENDING THE ENTIRE DAY OUTSIDE, WITH YOUR CLOTHES AND BELONGINGS SOAKED, SEARCHING FOR SOMEWHERE SAFE AND DRY TO SLEEP.

AND THE WORST PART? YOU KNOW YOU STILL HAVE AN ENTIRE NIGHT AHEAD OF YOU.

NO HOT SHOWER. NO FRESH CLOTHES. NO WARM BED. NO DOOR TO CLOSE BEHIND YOU.

JUST THE DESPERATE HOPE OF FINDING SOME RELIEF BEFORE MORNING.

WE DON'T SHARE THIS TO MAKE ANYONE FEEL GUILTY FOR HAVING A HOME. WE SHARE IT BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE FORGET JUST HOW MUCH WE TAKE FOR GRANTED.

TONIGHT, AS YOU SETTLE IN FOR THE EVENING, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SOMEONE JUST A FEW MILES AWAY MAY BE STRUGGLING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.

THEY ARE OUR NEIGHBORS. THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS. AND THEY DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER.

FOR OUR FRIENDS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, WE LOVE YOU, STAY SAFE, WEL SEE YALL SOON.

AS SPOOKY SEASON APPROACHES, WE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES OF SOME SAFETY TIPS:

1- IF YOUR PAPER BOAT GETS LOST IN A STORM DRAIN, LEAVE IT THERE.

2- IF YOUR GROUP WANTS TO SPLIT UP, DONT.

3- IF YOURE ON A ROAD TRIP, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GAS, AND A SPARE TIRE.

4- DO NOT STOP FOR ROADSIDE CLOWNS. (WE DONT WANT TO REPEAT 2016)

5- AND, IF YOU FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG, IT PROBABLY IS, AND ITS PROBABLY WATCHING YOU.

IF ANYONE ELSE HAS SOME GREAT TIPS ON HOW TO SURVIVE THIS SPOOKY SEASON, DROP EM BELOW!!
