Since the pandemic began, The Least of These Ministry has seen an increase in those facing homelessness.
Derrick Alford rides a bike to Botetourt from Roanoke to work, 9 miles each way.
He used to walk, but thanks to The Least of These Ministry he now has a bike to get there.
“I sleep on the sidewalk, set my phone for the alarm to come on to have enough ample time to make my destination, so I walk all the way from Roanoke, Virginia to another county, Botetourt,” Alford said.
