Ambassadors of Hope and Amos Sawyer

Ambassadors of Hope
Don't worry if you've never heard of this group. It's operating out of one room in the Salvation Army Family Services building. But the volunteers are trying to find work and housing for those who've been dispossessed by the recession. We talk with organizers and two women who found that the economy had left them jobless and homeless.
