The patrons of the Cumming First United Methodist Church got a small look Friday at what many of those homeless people face on a daily basis, taking part in Cardboard City, a service learning project and fundraiser for Family Promise of Forsyth that takes local people out of the comfort of their home and briefly shows what it means to be homeless.
