"Changing lives, saving dreams"

The good Reverend and former homeless person himself, Ron Brummitt, gave his pitch for the homeless and his desire to partner with the City. His objective is to save lives and save dreams of the homeless in Lake Worth with a facility that cares for the homeless which would include a shower, a kitchen, meeting rooms and offices. A 60 to 80 bed facility would be ideal.

He said that first he needs to secure a building and next, zoning issues must be solved. The Reverend said that he was here to check out his future partners, Lake Worth. Commissioner Jennings asked the City Manager to check out our surplus properties and check on their zoning.

Almost forgot--he needs funding--all of this just before Christmas. Good timing, Rev. Everyone is much more charitable around this time of year.
