Street Report #19 - Stormy Weather

Unfortunately it was a busy night out there tonight, and even during the downpour of rain we had people come to the bus for food. 

We had lots of soup (2 big loads of it) and by the end of the night that all went as did the cheese sandwiches and 110 hot dogs. Also we had 4 cakes that we cut up and distributed as well as the chips and chocolates that the Foundation gave money for to purchase for the people.

 

We had coincidentally 2 separate families come for the first time to the bus and these 2 families were living sadly in their vehicles.  I gave them the Foundation's numbers as well as mine in case they needed extra assistance 'til they settled down hopefully soon somewhere.

I bought nappies and baby food for both the families (spent app. $60.00 on each family at the IGA in Fitzroy St) who have fallen on hard times, it was sad to see these people as you could tell by their looks that they had recently fallen on hard times and they felt uncomfortable coming to the bus asking for food for their respective families.  Also gave out blankets I had with me on the bus to one of the families.
