Mandrake Summers is a familiar face on the streets of Ward 3. He can be seen early in the morning and late at night crisscrossing busy intersections to get to out of the way parks and bridges to talk to a homeless man or woman. For the past five years Mandrake has been CCHFP's Outreach Coordinator. He is dubbed, "Mr. Approachable," by more than one consumer because he always talks to people and treats them like people.

Life before CCHFP included two-years with the Peace Corps, college, and a secret life that he'd love to share with you if you stop by to say hi. He's also currently working on his Master's degree, though we don't know how he makes the time!
