PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Homelessness is an issue nationwide and Bay County is no different. The Panama City Rescue Mission is doing all it can to help those in need despite not having enough staff.

“We don’t have employees we were able to serve and staff to be able to serve the evening community meal using our grant workers to help us out,” Stephen Fett, President of the Rescue Mission, said.

The grant was given to them because of COVID. Now the money has run out and the mission is in desperate need of volunteers.

“We do need help with volunteers packing up these food boxes carrying it out to cars things like that,” Fett said.

1. There is a documentary about homeless crisis "Unzipped".

Heard it discussed this morning on "Film Week".

Mayor Karen Bass is busy cutting as much red tape as possible. But we need an infusion of empathy if we are ever able to get back the way of life we had in the pre-Reagan years.
