The girls have pleaded for the opportunity to give food to local homeless people.
They decorated lunch bags with hearts & quarters...
They filled baggies with candy...
They scooped hot pulled pork onto sandwich rolls...
Wrapped the hot sandwiches in foil...
And kept them warm in our oven until we left the house.
They filled the lunch bags with a Clif Bar, banana, baggie of candy, string cheese, juice box, yogurt, sandwich, napkin, plastic fork & spoon.
We piled in the car and Aly prayed that God would lead us to 6 people who needed a special blessing today.
This gentleman was extremely hungry and thrilled with our gift. The girls were ecstatic when they saw him eating the lunch they prepared.
This elderly couple gladly took the lunches and quickly hopped on their bus.
This gentleman, David, sat with a cardboard sign at a busy intersection. Abi handed him his lunch out the car window.
The girls & I are excited to make this a family tradition.

What a beautiful and thoughtful thing to do! One of my kids' annual activities is helping out at a food bank, and I am glad to see other kids making a strong community connection and an effort to help those less fortunate.
Ahhh, this brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful for you to step out of your comfort zone to help others. We often help feed the homeless at a local church. My kids never want to miss the opportunity to go.
What a great activity to do with your girls. My parents and I use to do something similar to this when I was younger, and the lessons learned have always stuck with me.
wow, that is really lovely!
That is so sweet and inspiring. I got a little teary reading this, but it also made my day! I love reading/hearing about people doing such selfless things. Thanks for sharing!
Very sweet :) Servant's hearts for sure. I love her summary of the day!
How wonderful for all involved! I am glad that they want to continue this. My family does lunches every month during the winter for our local "Room at the Inn" participants and I know, even with help and an assembly line, how long it takes to fill those bags. Good for them, God bless and keep them!
