Homeless Veterans in the Fountain, CO Area

Homeless Veteran
There continues to be creditable sightings of homeless veterans living in Fountain, Colorado and mainly along Route 85/87 and Fountain Creek. This would place them somewhere around the bridge area that crosses the highway. Fountain unlike Colorado Springs has some services for the homeless but not on a large scale. The sightings may be veterans that are just passing by Fountain heading some place else and are following the creek. There are also some trails in the local area along the creek they could be using. The only place that is listed in the Fountain newspaper where you can get a meal [soup & sandwiches] on Friday evening is the Methodist Church on Route 85/87. There is also a food pantry in the local area and if the veterans have funds other businesses. The sighting will continue to be monitored and veterans helped if they desire help or information on VA programs for the homeless. The local VFW recently had a dinner to raise money for homeless veterans.
