Mission Solano, the main organization in Fairfield that works with the homeless, celebrates it's 15th year of operation this month. Their signature program is "nomadic sheltering," where about 50 people travel to a different host site each evening and spend the night, getting meals, as well as a warm, safe night’s sleep. Recently Mission Solano built the Bridge to Life Center, offering outreach to women and veterans.
