<div>I’m a cashier at a local gas station in Eureka, California, and every day I see unhoused people come in, struggling to have enough money for food. I wanted to do something that could help, so for the past two years, I’ve been putting together ziplock bags filled with a Costco hot dog, ketchup and mustard, a sweet snack, chips, candy, a bottle of water, and a prayer card for encouragement. Every Sunday after church, I drive to 2nd and 3rd Streets where many unhoused people stay, and hand out 30 bags. I always run out within 10 minutes of arriving, and I wish I could do more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each bag is assembled with care and covers a full meal and a little encouragement. I cover the costs myself, but with your support, I could increase the number of bags I put together each week and reach even more people who need a meal and a bit of hope. Your donation, no matter the size, will help me continue this mission and bring comfort to those who need it most.
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you for any help you wish to send. Donations will help me increase the number of people I can help. Your support means so much to me and the people I serve.

<div>4/12/2026 Update
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support. I was able to feed 20 more people, giving out 50 bags this week and get supplies for the weeks ahead. Since I started about 2 years ago I figured I’ve given out over 3,000 bags. I’ve started to build friendships with some and it’s always a pleasure to see them.
