I had to move and when I was going through my stuff in the garage (Fourteen years of stuff) a friend got down the families sleeping bags. There were four of them all told and I had NEVER used them the entire time I had lived in my house.
I threw them in the trunk of my car and drove down to what I call the homeless park (it is where the homeless hang out) When I pulled out the sleeping bags the people came running! I also had warm stuff (scarves, sweaters, camping stuff) to share with the men and women of the park.
It made me feel good and I am hoping it keeps them warmer during the cold weather we have been having. I also took the turkey bones from the leftover turkey from thanksgiving and make a soup out of it. I went to the Dollar store and bought hot cups and spoons and took that down there. They are still taking about it!
For Christmas my brother gave me salami and cheeses, I don't eat that kind of thing so I went down to the park again to share. They remembered me from the sleeping bags and soup! I sat and talked to them for a little while then came home feeling good inside.
