At least a couple or three going to and from work. One fellow has been at a certain intersection for a couple of months now.

Recently, I saw a couple and their toddler! His sign read, "Lost my job. Please help." As I passed by I saw a police car pulling up, probably to have "a talk" with them.

I thought when I shop for groceries I would start picking up a few canned items like cans of beans, corn, fruit, and maybe some chili and soup. Stuff that won't spoil.

I would put this cans in a sack to drop off quickly at these intersections.
