"Out of the Cold: A history of caring" by Michael Swan

Out of the Cold: A history of caring
By Michael Swan

From a modest storefront that opened 28 years ago to serve hot meals to a handful of homeless people, Out of the Cold has developed into an acclaimed winter program that last year provided food and overnight shelter to more than 12,000 homeless people.

It’s a story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
