History: From the GMC website: An elderly homeless man named Freddy died of exposure on a Georgetown street in 1984. His death moved Georgetowners to search for an appropriate response, then in 1987, the Georgetown Clergy Association and Georgetown University founded the Georgetown Ministry Center and began raising money.
