The Big Bend Homeless Coalition hosted it's 13th annual Homeless Services Day.

They offered haircuts, hot meals and job advice for those who need a second chance.

It also gave them a chance to have fun. The event had a DJ and offered activities for the kids.

"This is a way for us to link people who are experiencing homelessness with service providers that can help them find resources that will help them transition into stable housing," said Edward Kring, the Development & Communication Affairs Coordinator for the Big Bend Homeless Coalition.

Organizers say through today's event, they were able to help more than 200 homeless people in our community.
