Homelessness Marathon - October 21, 2012

The Homelessness Marathon is making some changes after 14 years. We are happy to announce we are changing from our traditional February show to October. This year we'll broadcast during daytime hours on the weekend. The program will be live on Sunday October 21st beginning at 10am EST. These changes mean the voices and stories of homeless people from all around the United States will be heard right before the Presidential election. The Homelessness Marathon features live call-ins via a national toll-free number. The Homelessness Marathon is available for free to all non-commercial radio stations.
