Cold Weather Coming....Time To Get The Cold Weather Gear Out!!

Angie Ashby and I hit the streets this afternoon in an attempt to get people ready for the cold weather coming and to get them some food. Although some of my Indiana buddies will think that I have completely wimped out, it was very cold with temps in the low 40's. Too cold for me these days!!!This picture is a little dark but we had just finished talking with this lady who lives back in this area that looks like a dump. In the cooler was water that she had to go somewhere to get. She has to go everyday for water??? Sounds like the old days but it is very sad that there are people that still live that way in our own city! We loaded her up with some food which she said that really needed. If there is anyone out there with a large kids wagon that they are not using she sure would like to have one. She said that it would make it much easier for retrieving the water.
Angie was in the van getting the people of the Hoover Road Projects what they needed. This brother was getting his kids geared up for the cold weather. It was something to see him because Eileen and I had ministered to him and his wife when they lived in the McDougald Terrace Projects.
This young man was getting all equipped. He kept asking Angie for a different pair of gloves because he could not find the perfect fit. He was keeping a tight grasp on the package of brownies.

This grandma just stood back and did not ask for anything. If we asked her is she needed anything she would tell us. She got the biggest smile on her face after I put this coat on her. It fit her very well and Angie got a scarf and gloves for her too! We gave her some food that she really needed too!


We had a number of people that came to the van in the 45 minutes that we spent there. Many young people that were very respectful. We will be returning there later in the month to distribute more coats.
