Please let us remember those that have no homes this night.

May all those children sleeping in the cold tonight find a way to get somewhere warm and safe, and may our country finally pull our heads out of our asses when it comes to poverty and homelessness.

I mean, can you believe that?? We can't offer a loaf of bread or a sandwich to someone starving on the street. Freaking unreal..

Reminds me of a food distribution plant my husband worked at.The workers were told that the food that is to be thrown out cannot be given to the homeless.This was not spoiled or rotten food it was food that was oneday past the date of legally being sold. There was nothing wrong with it.My husband said everytime he would go to the dumpsters homeless people would stand at the fence begging him for food.He said if they gave any of it to the homeless he would be fired. My husband quit that job cause he couldn't handle that. The world is a cruel place.

to feed a stray dog.But if you feed a fellow human you get in trouble?

Whoever came up with this law probably never once went to sleep hungry, or otherwise would know better. I couldn't believe it when I first heard bit nevertheless it is the law.

I think the idea of making it illegal to feed someone who is hungry is absolutely nutty as hell. However, when it comes to giving I give to the food bank. It's amazing how far they can stretch limited resources and how many people they wind up feeding. I really admire the people who run it.

could sue Orlando. Didn't Jesus say to feed the poor?

This is a war on Jesus!

Bet FOX will get right on it!

The mentality behind it is that if you keep making life comfortable, they don't want to get a job.
The problem with that is one need to be able to eat and rest to get and keep a job.

is the big issue. Maybe some of these cavernous foreclosures that are rotting could be converted to multi-family housing.

But first, the "good Christians" have to recognize the right to decent, affordable housing.

Merry Christmas

And that is why I get so mad at how "Right to work" has hurt more than help. To have a home you have to have income to live off of. You need a job that is stable and that won't fire you before you have worked long enough to get benefits. It is all a real bad circle of sadness.

Not how we treat the most fortunate.
