Conversations on a Bench
October 9 - 10, 2025
WHAT IS IT?
24 Hours of Live Conversation
How do people in our community feel about homelessness? What can we learn when we slow down, listen closely, and engage with real stories—person to person?
For 24 hours, we’ll be broadcasting live from a bench. You can listen in as neighbors experiencing homelessness, program graduates, team members, local pastors, community officials, and ministry leaders stop by our bench for raw, authentic conversations.
WHY IT MATTERS?
A Chance to Ask Questions
What do you want to know about homelessness? These bench conversations offer a safe space to ask questions, dig deep, and listen in on real conversations about homelessness in our city. Nothing can change if we aren’t willing to have a conversation.
If you have stories to share about your own experience with homelessness, addiction, and mental health, please reach out to our team to participate.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Tune In to Our Bench
Conversations on a Bench is for everyone! On October 9 – 10, rescue missions and ministries like ours will host Conversations on a Bench. Visit conversationsonabench.org to find our bench, send in questions, and watch the livestream
