“He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.” – Proverbs 22:9
On Christmas Eve we are teaming up with Well in the Desert for our 3rd Annual Charity Christmas Eve Feeding the Homeless. We plan on providing food, toiletry kits and clothes to over 200 local homeless people.
We plan on giving each person a hygiene bag, a hand wrapped gift and a hot lunch. There will also be a table with the various clothes, jackets and other items that we have for each person should they want them such as Bibles.
We are reaching out to you to humbly ask for your help and support.
In addition to feeding and helping 200 homeless people, we will be providing these same services to three convalescent homes and teens at runaway shelter, Safe House of the Desert.
To help all of these people, we need your assistance whether that be in the form of goods, time or money. A partial list of the goods we need includes: Bottled Water, Gatorade, Granola Bars/Snack Items, Travel Size Hand Wipes and Sanitizer, Tissue and other hygiene items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, etc. Clothing such as hats, jackets and gloves are needed as well.
The first year that we did this, our goal was to teach our children that Christmas is not just about receiving. Over the past two years, many families have joined us to help in growing this day of service and giving.
If you can help us with the donation of your time, goods or money, please contact us by email at yysmith@gmail.com, info@cvbbq.com or via ShareKitchen at share@ShareKitchen.org so that we can coordinate your participation.
Blessings & Love,
The Smith Family
