Secondary source 2

The next secondary course that I have come across is The Hope Centers Facebook page. Their Facebook page is very informative about what is currently going on at The Hope Center and what things they are achieving as time progresses. Their page tells a lot about volunteers and the wonderful things that they do for their facility. They post pictures of their volunteers to show who devotes their time towards helping the homeless community. I think that it is a good idea for The Hope Center to have a Facebook page, because Facebook is a modern source to find information. A lot of people are on Facebook and by this facility having a Facebook page it can open people's eyes to what is going on in the community surrounding them. Also, being on social media is a good way to prompt people's interest and allow them to feel more at ease about asking questions. Having a Facebook page puts it out there for everybody to see that The Hope Center is a facility that is here to help the growing community of homeless people and that it is a non-profit organization and gives people a chance to volunteer and have a sense that they are helping out in their community.

I am going to be interviewing Carrie Cario from The Hope Center. I have a few questions that I will be asking during this interview that I am very curious about.
I would like to know at what time of the year is the shelter most full. Does the fullness of this facility  have anything to do with what the weather is like? How many people are in the shelter during summer and winter?
I also have questions that are more alone the lines of learning more about the organization itself. How does The Hope Center stay up and running if the facility is a non-profit organization? Where do they get their donations from?
Back to the main roots, what inspired the creation of this organization? What was the backstory of the creator?
This facility shelters the homeless and helps them get back on their feet one step at a time. I would like to know what the process of getting someone back on their feet and into an independent lifestyle is. Is there a certain amount of time that someone can stay in this shelter, or is that not limited?
I really hope that all, or at least some of my questions get answered! I am looking forward to interviewing Carrie.
