Thanksgiving -- Food
GainesvilleSun
- November 25, 2002
About 300 people received boxes
of food.
The
event began with a religious service
that drew hundreds to the plaza.
Many of the churches had booths
set up. Meanwhile, John Deane of
Warriors for Christ Inc. did his
usual Sunday charity - feeding homeless
people hotdogs or sandwiches.
Deane's
entire ministry is feeding the homeless.
He said the give-away of Thanksgiving
boxes was a great way to help with
the holiday but added he hopes Gainesville
residents remember that many people
are in need of a hot meal year round.
"Every
Sunday I come here or to St. Francis
House to feed the homeless,"
Deane said. "This event is
great, but I just hope people see
that I am on the front lines doing
what God called me to do helping
homeless people get off the street,
and I can't do it without the support
of the community." Click
