The next meal for my homeless friends is tomorrow morning by the pier. Me and some friends cook eggs and toast and coffee on a coleman stove, as long as the police do not bother us. That's the only solution I know for the time being.
Sad thing is, most homeless can't emotionally/mentally hold a jon to begin with. That's can't cope with the reality of our world which is why they can not function in it. Again, this is just my experience with them relationally over the past few years. If most of us knew the TRUE stories of why they are so broken, we'd all probably help more.
My wife is a saint. She honestly wants to buy a city bus and just use it to move the homeless around town to the missions, food banks etc for free. We actually consider using PBLS money for that in complete seriousness.
