Feeding the Homeless

It was a cold and cloudy day, but we were blessed it stopped raining. I think God knew we needed this day to start a new year and help the homeless. It was on January 7, 2023. Me and Richard got to the Savage Assassins MC Mother Chapter in Fresno, around 10 am.

Savage Assassins had one of their greatest causes that was to feed the homeless. Giving food, clothes, shoes and hygiene products to them and so much more. They work hard to do all this and even people of the community came to bring or gave them and donated clothes. They went to friends, to events, and shared their post to get as much as they could to help these men and women out even children. As everything got gathered into trucks and cars it went by fast it was already 11:00 am and the yell came out KICK STANDS UP TIME TO GO. Everyone from different clubs that volunteered were pumped and ready, all excited to do some good. You could feel all the smiles and love as people revived there bikes and nodding their heads. You could feel the energy and goodness we were about to go give these people that are going to be surprised and happy.

As we came up to Poverello House some had shelter, others had tents, some living in their car, and some had nothing at all. I started thinking about all the rain we just had and how cold and windy it was. My eyes filled with tears feeling their pain, because I have family that is homeless, and I could see myself in their place. In 45 days, anyone can be in their place with no job, get hurt at work, one night or day your house my burn to the ground and you are homeless. Leaving an abusive relationship sometimes you just leave with no where to go but leave, hiding because everyone you know he or she knows. So, you stay silent. mental patients don’t get enough help because they don’t have enough care. Then we have VA VETS. That don’t get enough money or care to help them, so they live on the streets. And a lot of people that are homeless want something better but it’s so expensive to get ahead of the game.

But to see everyone’s face as all the bikers showed up and cars and trucks. Two vans from Set Free Church Search and Rescue also called SF Sanger with JESUS graffitied on the side of the van was so cool and awesome looking. They also came to bring stuff and to the people and with other things as well.

Everyone started setting up and putting stuff on the tables, and the people started coming over with smiles on their faces, saying thank you and being so grateful. Blessed by feeling that people still care, and were so surprised of what they were seeing. They all got into a line and everyone had enough even though I think some thought they were not going to get anything. But they made sure they had all they needed. They got pizza, got to get some clothes, shoes, hygiene products, and a blanket if they wanted one. Then the men from the church went around checking on them and seeing if they needing anything health and spiritual and almost every single one asked for prayers. I talked to a few people one person said he has been working but rent is so expensive he doesn’t
