Reverend Rick Cole beds down for the night and pitches a tent at a location that he had sought shelter at for a couple of nights. Cole is posing as one of Sacramento's homeless individuals to help draw attention to homelessness in the region and raise $300,000 for winter shelters this coming season. The reverend will seek shelter in the streets, discover alternative ways to earn money, and take in meals at homeless shelters such as Loaves and Fishes.
