Generosity in quotes: Mary Steele

“Many people ask me, ‘How do we solve homelessness?’ And I think the better question to ask ourselves is, ‘How do we come alongside the person experiencing homelessness?’

I think the answer is first, we have to know their name. Then, we have to find a way to offer them hope.”
