Vincent – Shelter Hotline Driver

December 11, 2017

“It means a lot because we help and give to the homeless. I’m truly dedicated to what we do. I know the cause we have is utterly necessary with the homeless young people in this city. They are just kids and need someone to look out for them.”

Vincent is a Shelter Hotline driver. The Shelter Hotline provides transportation services for DC’s homeless to help prevent hypothermia in the winter and hyperthermia in the summer. Drivers also distribute comfort items, such as socks and toiletries, to help the homeless.

He is dedicated to the needs of homeless young people. He is UPO!
