This year, in collaboration with the Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Omni Fort Worth Hotel, the Freeman Global Sales teams chose DirectionsHome.org and their partner agency, First Street Methodist Mission, as their way to lend a hand. Directions Home is the City of Fort Worth’s initiative to assist people experiencing homelessness and to provide the services they need to move into transitional and permanent housing.

Here are some pictures from Otis Thornton, Homelessness Program Director for the City of Fort Worth, from the awesome event where the Freeman Co put together 100 start-up kits and donated $21k to the Mission! (And where Elizabeth made the audience cry with a great story about the way the FSMM helps to transform lives.)
