Lisa started the non-profit "Hope on the Horizon" that has an active Facebook group where she collects household items to bring goods to people getting back on their feet. And Beth recognized that a warm blanket, even in Florida, can make a difference for a person who is homeless and she started the charity www.BlanketTheHomeless.org. Listen as these three "regular" people make an impact.
