Since then, c fi to 400 “self-
made gypsies,’ as Woodrich
calls them, ha^ been showing
up every nigbfo r a sandwich,
soup, a cup o/offee and a roof
over their heads.
“I’ve seen the unbelievable
numbers of people without a
home, and we’re going to keep
this going as long as we possibly
can,” said Woodrich, who esti
mated the church was spending
$500 per night.
The money is provided by-
donations from individuals and
various churches and clubs, both
