Week 2:

Causes Of Homelessness

Icebreaker activity: Toilet Paper Fun Facts Game

What You Will Need: A roll of toilet paper

Set-Up: For one of the simplest get-to-know-you games for teens, sit everyone in a circle on the floor and pass around the toilet paper roll. Instruct each participant to rip off as many pieces of toilet paper as needed (but don’t tell them why).

How to Play: After everybody has passed around the roll, it is time to share. Everybody must share one fun fact about themselves for each piece of toilet paper they ripped from the roll.

Proverbs 31:8-9 NIV

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Meet Tim

Our member Tim was recently reunited with his family in Ohio. Tim came back to Vero Beach to bury his mother in spring 2023. Due to the trauma and unforeseen circumstances he was left alone and homeless. We were able to get him stable and reconnect him with his loving family back in Ohio. At The Source we reunite families whenever possible!
