Feed the Homeless

First thing on my agenda (for The Giving Project) is to get outside and put some food in some hungry bellies.
Wanna help me?
I would love to get around 20 people to help me hand out 200 lunches, as well as connect with Homeless people in our community and help them find a part time shelter to get them educated and off of the streets, eventually ending in Jobs and changed lives.

So Heres the plan!

This Sunday may 4th, I'm putting together a "Feed the Homeless" project in Long Beach CA.
Meet at Bixby Park (Ocean Blvd and Cherry)

We will be creating sack lunches starting at 10am and then handing them out at 12Noon.
Please let me know if you can join me in making lunches or just distributing them.
Bring your bike if you can, we will be walking (and riding) around downtown long beach in search for hungry mouths to feed.

I've done this 3 other times and its always a success! (Click to see the 2nd and 3rd)

I would love for you to join me and my crew in serving the community of Long Beach.
I can't wait!

According to the City of Long Beach 2007 Homeless count, there are 3,829 homeless people living in Long Beach. 2,150 are living on the streets, 358 are children.

Lets feed the Homeless!
Heres the skinny.
We all bring different items to contribute to a sack lunch (enough to put in 40-50 lunches).
Meet at 10am (Assembly crew) to put sandwiches and sack lunches together.
Meet at 11:30am (Bicycle Delivery Crew)
Ride around mapped locations meeting homeless people and giving them a really tasty lunch... maybe sit down have lunch with one... why not, the sandwiches were tasty last time!

Please join us, we'd love to have you!
Don't pull the "I can't come, I'll be at church" card, thats pretty much the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of... Thats when church becomes a building and you a slave.

Last months "BBB" was a great success! We fed around 150 homeless people in the Downtown Long Beach area.
We were on our bikes for like 3 hours though... so this time we want to do it differently... more efficiently.



What we need
(each person please bring enough to feed 40-50 people/ we need 3 people per item). (# in parentheses is how many more people need to contribute for each item.)

-bologna or salami (3)=150 slices
-cheese (3) =150 Slices
-bread (3) =300 slices
-fruit (oranges or apples) (3) =150 pieces of fruit
-chips (small bags please) (1) =50 bags
-granola bars (2) =100 bars
-water!! (2) =100 bottles


**in order to have enough food, we need at least 20 people who are committed to bringing at least one of these items. check back daily for updates on what we still need .
