COLORADO SPRINGS â The Off the Street breakfast returns to Colorado Springs this weekend and it raises money for the PLACE, a local shelter helping homeless youth in El Paso County.
The breakfast is the biggest fund-raising event of the year for the non-profit to help homeless youth in the community. Last Thursday, the in-person breakfast was held, and this upcoming Saturday, the breakfast will be held virtually.
Part of the breakfast is sharing the inspirational story of one woman s journey at the PLACE, who was helped out of homelessness. Her name is Evelyn Reeder, and she told News5 as a youth, she went to more than 15 different foster homes over time.
