There is a man here who goes through the trash cans every week looking for bottles and cans. A friend who recently moved here said that she saw him in her neighborhood and someone had accidently tipped over his shopping cart and was trying to help him pick up all the bottles and cans. He was swearing at them the whole time. We have a rescue mission and a lot of county programs here but they have to want help and be willing to give up drugs and/or alcohol and be open to job training to use those programs. The mission has helped some find jobs. There is also a battered women's shelter for those who have abusive husbands.
