| Meet Me Under The Bridge - On Sunday afternoons a group of volunteers team up to feed the homeless at Willard Park in the downtown area. They start feeding at 3:00 pm. All the food is hot and homemade by their group. After they are done there they move to Washington and Rural to the parking lot at the library. They don't ask for ID and they don't turn anyone away. They are currently feeding between 150 & 200 people every Sunday. If you are interested in helping out, and you want more information please don't hesitate to contact Kim at 317-222-8741, or email her at: always_pray@comcast.net. | |||||||||
