We feed about 50 homeless weekly at the Denver House. This is separate from the monthly homeless meal, and is mostly leftovers. When we are short, we make pancakes or sandwiches. The Denver House has no budget for food, so we try to help.
They are doing good work, at the level of people who are at the highest risk, usually the people that the other shelters will not take.
Last year, the Lady that tallies the head count said we fed out 6,953 homeless meals total. Thankfully a lot of that food was donated!

sir smithlabs! this is about as clear as mud. If you feed the homeless at the Denver House from leftovers from your monthly feeding then how can you feed them every week at the Denver House? Your monthly feeding leftovers are a month's worth of food?

The food for the weekly feedings come from left over food from church. We eat Breakfast and lunch every Saturday at Church. I take what is left to the Denver House Saturday afternoons.
The Monthly feeding provides left overs sometimes, and we feed those leftovers the following Monday; at the Denver House.

oh...now it makes sense. You never said that you have breakfast and lunch every saturday at your church, that's where the left over food comes from. It sounds like all you people do up there is eat.

ok sir smithlabs that makes sense, well there is plenty of needy people out there so it's a good thing some churches are doing all they can to help.

They do stay busy! But they practice what they preach, LOL! They have been very helpful on supplying food! I appreciate the supply of food they provide. They provide all the plates, bowls, cups, and silver ware. They volunteered to step in and supply us what they could, It has been a BIG help! There is a second church that is wanting to help with food too. We are hoping to begin a second feeding every month, if we can get enough people for a second serving crew, and source the food.
We are getting closer to that. We had a truck load of gallon cans of food donated yesterday, and picked up a load for the freezers too. Progress, so we will see!
