This is Keystone Mission’s 3rd year to host REAL TALK. Since its inception in 2020, Justin Behrens has used the platform to engage with the community with the hopes of educating them on the myths of homelessness. Each year, REAL TALK invites community members and leaders, local, state, and federal politicians, and church leaders to talk on how they can partner with Keystone Mission to better the men and women experiencing homelessness.
REAL TALK will be held on the grounds of the Lackawanna County Courthouse (N. Washington side). You will have the opportunity to come and speak with Justin and hear from other community leaders and even guests themselves. Our goal is to raise awareness of how the community can rally around the men and women experiencing homelessness.
Starts on Tuesday, October 25th at 10:00 a.m. and will go for 24-hours.
