"In Kalamazoo, census workers were out Monday, counting the homeless population from 6:00 to 10:00. After a quick prayer, it's time for dinner, a routine that Donna Pearce of the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission is very accustomed to.
“We have an average of 275 individuals here with us each night, so we shelter 70 percent of those sheltered in Kalamazoo,” said Pearce.
On Monday and Tuesday, Pearce is taking part in an effort to make sure every homeless person in Kalamazoo gets counted for the 2010 census, " per WWMT-TV3.
