Buy a Homeless Person A Meal November 14, 2012

Step One--Buy A Homeless Person A Meal   November 14, 2012

     So I was back in IHOP, sitting not 20 feet from a homeless person, who was guarding all of his baggage and worldly possessions.  IHOP, in downtown Orlando, is very kind to the homeless, and allows them to sit and rest and drink free coffee.

     So during my meal with my friend, I asked the waitress to order a full meal for the man.  That is one way I can help, even though it's very temporary. 

     I have also been searching on pinterest.com for homeless helping pins.  There are ideas I can follow.  Wish me luck.  I am taking baby steps here.

     When you go to buy your 20 pound Thanksgiving turkey in the frozen food aisle this week, pick up several more and take them to a shelter.  That will add to the food they can serve next week for all of those who depend on us for their Thanksgiving meals.

     Please leave comments/suggestions for how I can improve the lives of even a few homeless families in the future. 

     I'm going to enjoy my Thanksgiving Day meal at a local Chinese buffet.  I'm very fortunate.
