Our Small Group decided we would make Lasagna for Dinner Sunday night. We mad e an extra pan and made up 10 "to go plates" and loaded them and a carton of cigarettes in a Destination Downtown Tote and hiked all over downtown searching for the homeless to give them to. We walked up to the Commons, over to Riverwalk, almost all the way down the riverwalk, down to pizza joint, back up broad almost to the Disco Tech - still no homeless. Our feet were beginning to get sore so we loaded up in two cars to look that way. We went to 3 gas stations and finally found one man on a bike that we had seen downtown before - he is very nice and never asks for anything. He was very excited about the lasagna and we were very excited that we had found someone to enjoy it. We drove around for about another hour and finally decide we would leave the other nine plates on a bench and hope they were found. After hanging out for a bit Jim left to take the long trek across the street to the Whites Building. He spotted 3 homeless guys and told them about the dinners - they gladly grabbed one and one guy took the rest to give to his buddies. Moral of the Story - the homeless problem Downtown is not as bad as seems :-)
