    There's a group out of Nappanee that has decided to make a difference in the lives of the homeless in Chicago and right here in Michiana. They answered the question of what can one person do by saying "Something" and that's what they are doing. John Shafer and Susie Kocsis will share how on a trip this past weekend they handed out clothes and blankets as well as provided hot meals to over 130 people.
