From Houston-When Eunice Dewhart saw the ironing board, she knew it had to be for her.
Dewhart, who got an apartment last month after bouts of being homeless for years, spent Saturday morning celebrating at the Lord of the Streets Christmas party.
The Episcopal ministry in Midtown provides basic services to the homeless. In the last few years, the program hired a case manager to guide the most dedicated off the streets into homes as they pursue better lives.
Volunteers from St. Francis Episcopal Church arrived early to set up for the party at Trinity Episcopal Church, just a block from Lord of the Streets. About 180 children and adults selected as "success stories" gathered to eat, chat and collect donated gifts.
