The Real Scare of Halloween: There is ‘No Room at the Inn’ this Holiday Season in Marquette or the Upper Peninsula

Already proof of poverty and hunger issues to come in Marquette, MI and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

(Marquette, MI) – Three incidents of hunger and cold over the past two days in Marquette, MI shows the gales of winter’s poverty and homelessness have come early as the Upper Peninsula.

In fact, the U.P., itself is barely coming to grip with the extent of the growing poverty and a hunger crisis – and if there is any substance abuse issues involving the hungry – all rules seem to get thrown out the window.

State budget cuts and high unemployment ate taking their toll.

The Marquette, Michigan Poverty Incidents Fri., Oct. 28, 2016 and today Sat., Oct. 29, 2016 (so far):

  • A short while ago on this cold Saturday morning a man was begging for food money for his hungry child on Bike Path – possible name is Steve Mert (sp? – we would like to talk to him).

  • Friday – Police called to local restaurant because hungry people were “dumpster diving”

  • Friday – twice on Friday police called to an exclusive neighborhood in north Marquette where a male and a 15-year-old female show up asking to be let inside because they are cold and hungry – they claimed to be neighbors but man who called police did not recognize them.

The Warming Center and the faith-based Room at the Inn Project do what they can – with almost no money. They are forced to weed out – send packing or arrested – all those who have been drinking or doing drugs. Police do not have the jail space to lock away the problem – nor should they be expected.

The problem is likely to get worse as the snow blankets the U.P.

Out of real fear, should people not help those who arrive at their door seeking help?

What would Jesus or any of the faith leaders do?

How many will die this winter suffering in the frozen U.P.?

How cold are we as humans with people who are fallible?
