Lexington Homeless Voice is a publication by and about the normally unseen population of our community. The purpose is to give a voice to the voiceless and create awareness of their dreams, hopes and needs. The LHV is distributed throughout the community, focusing on the faith communities. People are able to see and understand the reality that the most disenfranchised in our community live with and ways they can help. The staff of the LHV consists of the homeless and community supporters; the staff meets bi-weekly and the direction of the paper, the theme of each edition and other projects are made by consensus. Being a part of Lexington Homeless Voice gives everyone an opportunity to be heard and know that their thoughts are important. The LHV is organized by the Catholic Action Center, 400 E. 5th St. Everyone is welcome to join in the meetings, which are held every other Sunday evening from 6:30-8:00pm. You can call 859-514-7210 for more information.
Lexington Homeless Voice Co-op: Crossing Over for Jesus
This is a new ministry of the Catholic Action Center to help those struggling for employment in these difficult economic times. Members of the cooperative make the crosses daily at the Center, joining together in the dignity of work and fellowship. All proceeds after sales go to the cooperative, and the members are paid by the number of crosses they completed. Crosses are sold at various church and community functions. LHV Crosses are now available online to help our brothers and sisters in need have an income by the work of their hands and hearts! Purchase crosses here. To help or for more information, call 859-514-7210 or email godsnet@insightbb.com.

The Lexington Homeless Voice Cross Co-op has also begun selling crosses to send to the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Crosses will be distributed to the troops through the military chaplains.
