Community Read and Discussion

We invite you to be part of an important community dialogue centered on homelessness, compassion, and solutions.

Together, we’ll explore the powerful and deeply human story told in Rough Sleepers: Dr. Jim O'Connell's Urgent Mission to Bring Healing to Homeless People by Tracy Kidder.

Why this matters…

At Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter & Services, we witness every day the complex realities of homelessness — and the incredible impact a caring, engaged community can have in creating change.

This book offers a compelling, human-centered perspective that we hope will inspire thoughtful conversation and deeper understanding.

✨ Whether you’ve read the book cover to cover or are just curious to learn more, all are welcome.
