Wednesday, April 7, is Homelessness Awareness Day in Texas. It’s a day for advocating for homelessness and issues surrounding being homeless, and they have planned activities for Lamar County. They urge homeless advocates to wear purple and meet on the square in Paris at noon to raise awareness about homelessness in Lamar County. Bring donations of paper towels, toilet paper, and large black trash bags for Horizon House, the local transitional shelter.
