I put out a calling for donations to help a local homeless encampment that had recently caught fire. I asked for camping equipment, food, warm clothes, and toiletries. I also asked for volunteers to come make bagged lunches and sort thru donations. Around 50 people donated items and 30 showed up at my house early Sunday morning to help. We made lunches and caravanned out. We made over 200 lunches and collected all sorts of tents, sleeping bags, camping stoves, etc as well as blankets, clothes, and jackets. The tenants at the encampment were so happy to see us and everything we collected was taken and used. A gentleman showed up at my house that morning as well and gave us all these tokens. Met some amazing people that day.
