Scrolling through Hannah Durrance’s Facebook feed, you’ll find the usual personal announcements and a smattering of shared news stories interspersed with requests such as this:
“We need men's socks. Would anyone be willing to donate men's socks, sizes 8-11? We have some individuals with sores on their feet because their feet are sweating so much and they don't have clean socks.”
Durrance conducts these searches through the Facebook page for HOME Center of Central Texas, a nonprofit organization she created to address the needs of the homeless population, but she shares it via her personal Facebook feed as well because the plight of the homeless in San Marcos is, for her, a deeply personal one. After leaving an abusive situation seven years ago, Durrance moved to San Marcos to start anew, but as a single parent with three children, she and her family wound up living out of her van.
