Owensboro's Mobile Outreach Just People is a mobile outreach organization in Owensboro, Kentucky.

We meet those in need where they are and provide them with free essentials.

Sometimes, right before your eyes, you get to watch someone rewrite their story.

That's what's happening with this young lady.

Months ago, we photographed her while she was living on the streets. Today, she asked us to take another picture. She wanted you to see her now.

Tonight, she's sleeping under a roof she worked hard to put over her head. She's fought some terrible battles and is fighting to remain clean and sober.

I'm incredibly proud of her.

But not everyone wins that battle. At least not today.

And if you're one of those still fighting, I want you to know something.

You're no less deserving of love, dignity, or another chance than anyone else.

You may not be going hungry, but someone you know might be. Please share this. You never know who might need it.

We'll have nonperishable food, hygiene products, bus passes, pet food, and lunch.

No ID or forms. Just show up. Cadillac Motel, 1311 West 2nd Street.

This is Maddie. She joined us today for our weekly Tuesday outreach.

She's from urban Texas, where she's experienced in meeting people on the streets, right where they are.

Today, she was representing River Valley Behavior Health. But what impressed us certainly wasn't who she represented.

It was watching her get right in there with our people.

No hesitation. No standing on the sidelines.

Just people helping people. We’re all a part of our Homeless Coalition, working together for the same cause.

A typical Tuesday.

We've met more people since we started going out weekly than we normally would in a year.

We're running low on these meals, and they're something our people have come to depend on.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched someone open one of these and eat it right in front of me. They don't need to be heated, and for someone living outside, that makes a difference.

If you can afford to help, please consider having some sent to us at 5010 Wildcat Way #3, OBKY 8:30–5:30.

I'll put the links in the comments.

She was sleeping in a local business's parking lot when they reached out. They asked if we could help before they had to make a difficult phone call.

That's Chloe from St. Ben's Women's Shelter, speaking with her. They partner with us when we go out, and in this case, Chloe secured housing outside of town for this sixty-eight-year-old woman. And her cat.

So when we say we don't receive funding and have to beg the public for food, that's the truth. But when it comes to getting someone documentation and housing, it's nice to have friends like St. Benedict's Homeless Shelter in your corner.

We're both part of the Homeless Coalition, where agencies work together. Follow along, and we'll see what that looks like.

Some women slept outside the shelter the other night because they were full. Since that's unlawful, they arrested one of them.

And they're not alone; we're finding more people every week with nowhere to turn. The camps and parks have been cleared.

One thing hasn't changed. They're still hungry and cold.

We've tried to keep up with the demand, but honestly, right now we're low on food. Every bit of it comes from people like you.

If you can, check out the first comment below, where I mention what we need and how to get it to us.

Another new camp, home to two people trying to live their lives normally. Thankfully, the property owners called us before law enforcement.

We're trying to relocate them to a better site. In the meantime, we're doing this alone, without any help from outside agencies.

To be honest, it feels like we're the only boots on the ground, yet we can't get a crumb from the funding table.

Why is that Owensboro?

Meet one of our people who live outside. She was beaten up and ended up here.

A few weeks earlier, we reconnected her with her family by phone. And now, after this tragedy, she's on her way to live with them.

It's a success story that doesn't come around often. But if you're interested, you ought to follow us.

We're not a church. We don't get funding. We literally are just people.

Owensboro has been working hard to address our homeless crisis.

We've made English Park uninhabitable for them; Kendall-Perkins is now empty, with a strong police presence. Tent City was wiped from existence the day after Easter. Another camp in July of last year.

Sound familiar? You push a group of people around, taking any territory they might be existing on a little bit at a time. Until it's all gone.

But there's an unintended consequence: they didn't disappear. We just removed the places where they could stay out of sight.

Now they'll show up in the places we do see—and I suspect we'll be a lot less comfortable with that.

Before you say it, we acknowledge issues such as trespassing, drug use, and inappropriate behavior. These are complicated, broken lives being lived in public.

We're not here to solve homelessness. We are here to find them, feed them, and love on them right where they are.

If that matters to you, follow along.
