About:
StreetSoldiers is a volunteer based group that comes together each week to feed those in need. Whether they are homeless, just trying to get by or just need to see a friendly face each week. We don’t ask to prove they are in need. Each Thursday we provide at least one hot meal, a sandwich, fresh fruit, pantry items and a weekly meal they can take back and cook. For our homeless friends we provide non perishable items they can easily eat while one the streets or in a shelter.
Everything is based on donations from individuals and local businesses. They serve about 100-120ppl each Thursday.
A good friend of ours, asked me to help out whenever I could. She is very known in this group for her dedication and work. She goes every Thursday to help out and I will also be tagging along with her whenever I can!
I will be asking a few other student athletes in the future to help out too.
