Sue Tsorakis:  

6 years ago I worked full time as a buyer/procurement and after work I would feed the homeless, I actually made sandwiches on the trunk of my car (with paper towels ofcourse :) I would make 77 sandwiches every night and I would go to 6 different Starbucks and pick up their day old pastries. I also went to two grocery stores and they filled my car with cakes and pies, fried chicken and so much more! My friends loved the desserts. I would have two friends (without homes) pass out the desserts. I even had a dry cleaners give me clean clothes that were not picked up. My friends loved that. I would hang up the clothes on the link fence and my friends could pick out what they wanted. I would go to the leavee and to camp city and deliver food to my friends there. I even fed one Mother and her 3 kids every night. That was very hard to see. But if I ran out of sandwiches I would drive to Mcdonalds and get them hamburgers, so they wouldn't go to bed hungry. I also loved to bring them sweets. I remember the youngest son went to the homeless school (Mustard seed school) and they gave him a new pair of tennis shoes. He was so happy and he showed all of our friends his new shoes! I loved helping people and hearing their stories.

It was pouring rain and I found a campsite with 25 or so friends and they were thrilled to get this hot meal. And I went to this store that was near by camp city and my friend me me there and he took the rest of the food and he put it in the stroller behind his bicycle. And later he told me they dined on the food for 3 days and that made me very happy!!! I even brought food to the steps of St. John's church where our friends were sleeping there. I sat on the steps and made sandwiches and I would bring them cup of soups with hot water so they had something in their tummy so they could keep warm. I delivered not only clothes, but I also purchased warm jackets on sale at Walmart for $6.00 each. And I received gifts of blankets (that were homemade quilts) and new sleeping bags. Our friends really appreciated these gifts. I had delivered underwear and they were snatched up in seconds flat. I also ...Expand for more
