Very nice and it looked like a great day to be out. You may have covered this before but could you discuss what group does this, or is it yourself. Does the group accept donations?
Keep up the great work!

The group is volunteers from half a dozen churches, who want to help. We feed them, clothe them, find them housing, get them medical help, cut their hair, pray with them on request, and find them jobs. It can get a little busy, LOL 🤕🤠😆
We started about ten years ago, with 2 people, one table, a roaster of chicken and rice, and two gallons of Mac and cheese. We fed 60 that first day.
Most of our donations are food or clothes, but everything goes to the homeless! A lot of our volunteers bring food that they buy and cook, I am so proud of them.
We have seen miracles of provisioning that are stunning. We were running out of food on the Sunday close to thanks giving, and we had a Man drive up with a station wagon full of food! His church planned a catered meal that weather cancelled. He was driving home, to try to find freezer space; when he saw us feeding! He said he didn't normally come that way....
I was short handed once, due to vacations and family emergencies; and I called a friend to ask if he could help. He goes to a Mennonite church, and he announced it in the service...we got 30 volunteers that day! The church only has 60 members.
It is never boring, LOL 😆
