A pastor who runs a Little Rock homeless shelter says more people are going hungry than last year.
Last December, volunteers and kitchen crews at the Little Rock Compassion Center served 12,000 meals for the entire month. Thus far this December they have served 14,000.
Pastor William Holloway says he expects volunteers and staffers will serve at least 1,000 people on Christmas Day alone.
Holloway says employment figures that show fewer people are out of work do not square with what he sees at his shelter.
