PR for the homeless

After reading the WashingtonPost today, I came across this story about a man who is homeless and uses facebook as a tool in his campaign to help others who are homeless as well. He posts links to articles about poverty and help for the disadvantaged, how to give during the holiday season, and other information he feels to be very helpful.

The article, though a bit lengthy for a news article, is a great read in how Eric Sheptock used facebook and twitter to be an advocate for homeless people. Though he has no official job title, I found him to be a great public relations advocate.
