Westminster Presbyterian Church is the only place in Maury County where homeless women and children can find a warm bed to sleep in and now the city is threatening to shut it down. More than 100 adults and 17 children have all come there needing help, and already they’re having to turn people away. A girl named Trinity graduated from high school after leaving Westminster and is now enrolled at Columbia State Community College. There was one mom who was homeless but now has a new house and job. Then there’s former resident Betty Long. “I don’t know what I’d do without it because I still depend on them for a lot of help,” said Long. For three years Westminster has been taking people in helping them get everything from food and clothes to job placement and education.
