Some of our great homeschooling friends, the Baileys, worked with their church home to create and assemble blessing bags for the homeless. The bags have great items like shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, Kleenex, and snacks that the homeless can use.
Most shelters offer shower facilities but if you are living on the streets there are a few facilities that will allow the homeless to come in and shower.
The snacks are not things that slip into a backpack and won't be affected by the Texas heat. We delivered the bags to our friends at Metro Relief and they went out with the bus ministry the same day.
On Thursdays the Metro Relief bus serves the homeless in south Dallas, on Fridays they head out to Fort Worth and on Saturdays they hit another portion of south Dallas. When the bus goes out to an outreach they serve lunch, offer hair cuts, play basketball and pray with the homeless.
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Matthew 25:40
