"Colorado Springs is a tourist city,” explained Bernice Mulvihill. “I used to be proud to be from here. And now how I view the city is: It's beautiful on the skin, but below the surface, it's ugly.”

Mulvihill is passionate about helping those who are struggling with housing. She volunteers and helps organize for the nonprofit Spreading Smiles and Sandwiches, an organization dedicated to change the public perceptions of those experiencing homelessness. The organization is founded by Drew and Christina Hausfeld, a Colorado Springs couple passionate about helping those experiencing homelessness.

Since 2016, volunteers for Spreading Smiles and Sandwiches have come together at Dorchester Park on the second Sunday of every month to help hand out supplies to displaced people. At these meet-ups, volunteers distribute a hot lunch, a to-go lunch, granola bars, water, clothing, shoes, sanitary items, compassion, and additional resources to help those living on the street.
