Hi all,

In the past several years we have been cooking and helping unfortunate people who have no place to go during holidays. Normally we cooked and delivered foods to homeless, most of them stayed under the bridges and in downtown. I would like to ask beside these areas, where else can we find them?

If anyone could show me where I could find most homeless, or if you know any families, children need foods. Could you please let us know?

Thank you,

Check with some pastor that you know they always know of families that could use some help.

Thank you! But I do not go to church. I will in future but not now because my family is Buddhist. However I would like to go to church to learn more about Jesus.

Anyway if anyone else has other suggestions please let me know.

Merry Christmas all!!!

I think if you call the United Way offices, they can give you names of groups or individuals who share your goals.
