'The rest of my life was in my backseat': Homelessness is experienced by thousands statewide, but volunteering could help
Elizabeth Montgomery at just 18 years old was waiting in an Olive Garden parking lot, enviously watching people eat. Her only wish was to be able to sit in a booth and have food to eat too. Food was scarce. Montgomery would rummage through half-eaten or thrown out leftovers, trying to find enough substance to last the night. This is a common reality for individuals like Montgomery, who experienced homelessness for three years of her life.
