One day every year, Cleveland's "Homeless Stand Down" provides a short respite from the cold streets for some of the city's neediest residents.
Northeast Ohioans experiencing homelessness and poverty are invited into Cleveland Public Auditorium for a break from the streets and access to necessities and services that many of us take for granted.
Northeast Ohio's branch of the volunteer organization ' Hands On,' hosted the event earlier this month.
One of the volunteers was Waverly Willis, the owner of Urban Kutz Barbershop and a man with a history of helping out his community. He's also a man who knows what it means to have nowhere to call home.
