For the homeless, they're thinking out of the box
About 700 people gathered north of uptown Saturday to march through the cold in support of Charlotte's homeless.
With temperatures in the 40s, a group of teens, their parents and homeless people took part in the fourth annual Help the Homeless Walk.
The three-mile march marked the close of a two-day event aimed at raising awareness of the problem. Friday night, more than 100 teens from five area churches took part in an empathy-building exercise in which they spent at least part of the night sleeping in cardboard boxes.
It was an idea that some colleges have used to bring attention to homelessness, and it left an impression on those who took part this year.
