Local woman starts organization to help homeless

WOODFORD COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ)- A woman from Woodford County starts organization to help homeless in the county.

Sherry Williams started the organization “Unity Outreach” to help those in need in her community.

She is a member of 99 for One in Versailles, a local church.

Sherry is working to open a shelter later this year, but for now the church has offered access to free showers, haircuts, and clothes for those who need them.

There is also a blessing box outside the church where people give what they can and take what they need, no questions asked.

Organizers say it’s important to help everyone because you can’t always tell who needs help just by looking at them.

The organization encourages everyone to spread love in their community by reaching out however they can.
