Wednesday homeless outreach

Last night was very cold , as we hit the city center , we noticed a huge amount of people at another feed that donated another great outreach 2 hours before we turn up and feed those that either missed out or couldn’t make it ..either way , I fealt for them because the queue was huge , well done Hidden homeless 👏..moving in , as we approached the city to park , a queue was forming ..but I had seen many in doorways under blankets on the drive in , so we split the outreach and served from the event area with Hot meals from the Bearded Sailor Pudsey, KFC, snacks and hot drinks , abd clearly we can see an abundance of greggs, pret , and fantastic homemaker..clothing and pet food .
Home made hot dinners and puddings as well as refreshments were put into trollies and the team split to do a walk around the city centre, bringing us to around 9pm ..
we returned empty handed and absolutely everything on the tables was gone ..
the most crucial part of last night, was that everyone that was fed was street homeless..or sofa surfers..they were all given essential packs, sleeping bags, footwear and hats/gloves/scarves .. they were still coming as we were packing up asking for underwear ..we have decided to do the split team on Wednesday going forward into the new year ..and have the big hardship and homeless event on Sundays abd continue with the Tuesday supper run ..
A huge round of Applause to Jane and Adrian, providing hot quality food ..that was still to temperature even as the last meal was handed out ..Linda Thorntons cakes and Patisserie from The Tiny Tearoom, Calverley, were divine and all the other donations from pret and greggs were well appreciated..The Bearded Sailor meals were snapped up and gone before I could even get a picture ..much gratitude to Alex and all the staff at THE BEARDED SAILOR PUDSEY 🙏.
to all that donated clothing and warm items ..Blessings to you and please keep it coming ..especially men’s warm items and all trainers/boots/warm socks ..
till Sunday..have a great week ..
