Lesley Delivers with White 4

Hey Everyone, it’s Lyndsey again! I led Lesley Delivers the other night as a part of Lesley’s Hunger and Homelessness week. We had a perfect mix of people who had come on sandwich runs before and people who hadn’t. It was amazing to see the amount of people that did come because the weather was less than kind and rained the whole time. We did see some people, but not many – which gives me hope that they had found somewhere warm and dry to sleep. We did however see a man sitting next to a strung up tarp and we gave him some sandwiches. As we began to leave we saw him walk over to the tarp and give all of the food to the people underneath it, leaving none for himself. We went back and made sure that he had some for himself before we left. This action made us think about how we are family and friends before we are anything else, including hungry. It is not just the people on the runs who are trying to provide a small bit of comfort and hope, but the people who are sitting with each other in their time of need.
