midnight run
our youth group teamed up with the american church and went on a midnight run last friday. for those of you that dont know what a midnight run is, it is simply giving food, clothing, toiletries, blankets, etc to the homeless people. it is basically an organization made in the city, to help homeless people, and the owner right now used to be a homeless man, and also before used to be a homeless person. churches help out by gathering supplies, recieving a map (from the organization i think), and going to those strongholds where homeless people are, scouting for them, and helping them. our churches had two vans and what the people do is come to our vans and pick up whatever they need. we eventually started running out of supplies at our 2nd to last stop, but luckily we had enough for most of the people towards the end. the last stop was a terminal.. it is unbelievable. there were at least 30-40 homeless people all gathered, sleeping on the benches, so instead of bringing them out, we brought our supplies in and helped out. (these fucking drunk girls started cussing at us and dissin us cause we asian. the blacks who are waiting, non homeless were complaining not to help out the homeless and cussing as well. those bastards, have they have no heart?) helping the homeless is truly a great experience, and made me realize how much i had in comparison to them. a lot of homeless people were very strong in opinion, and some liked to tell us stories. for those that participated in these midnight runs, i congratulate all of you.
