Homeless in Elk Grove

Currently, the homeless population in Elk Grove is at 119 individuals, a 95 percent increase in the past two months. This startling statistic made me want to increase the awareness of the struggle that face our neighbors. These people are like you and me – they once contributed to our community but are now victims of the economy.

Staff informed me of a Sacramento artist who has taken on this controversial subject after visiting and interviewing the inhabitants of “Tent City”. I contacted Judy LewLoose to form a partnership to educate and inform our community of the growing homeless population in our area. We are honored to display LewLoose’s series Dignity for the Homeless - “Sheltering Emotions” at our Dino Drive office. Please visit our office to view her powerful portraits.




Prints from the originals in this collection and other LewLoose works are on display and available for purchase at Elk Grove Food Bank Services. LewLoose has generously designated one-half of the proceeds from the sale of these prints to benefit the programs supported by EGFBS.
