Camping. That word brings about many feelings for a lot of people. Some people love it… some people hate it. Most people around here do it as a “get-away.” Some people think that staying at a Holiday Inn is “roughing it.” However, about 25 miles east of here, there are many people that don’t get the choice – they’re homeless, so camping is their way of life.
Message and a Meal is a ministry that tries to help by providing a weekly meal, supplies and the hope of Christ to some of St. Louis’s homeless. However, they need help getting supplies that they can give out to the people that come. Wondering what to buy? Nothing! We’re just looking for used items that you’re getting rid of anyway. What are some of the things they need? Here’s the list…
- Clothes for Men, Women and Children (New or Used):
- Pants
