BARABOO (WKOW) — Governor Tony Evers is paying special recognition to a Baraboo pastor, who’s made it his mission to help his community.
Rev. Dave Mowers has led the charge to find a new homeless shelter for his community after the only one in the area closed in 2018.
“I felt like it was something that I could do that my faith compelled me to do,” Mowers told 27 News.
Mowers says 70 percent of Wisconsin’s homeless population lives in rural areas, so the Sauk County community has stepped up to help him create a brand-new non-profit to tackle homelessness.
