Meal Sharing

We all want to help when we see someone in need — offering food feels like the right thing to do. But feeding individuals experiencing homelessness at unsanctioned sites, while well-intentioned, can unintentionally keep them disconnected from the help they truly need. When meals are handed out in isolation, without coordination with outreach teams or service providers, people may miss the chance to be guided toward shelter, medical care, housing, and long-term stability. 

It can also create unsafe or unsanitary conditions, making already vulnerable situations even harder. The most powerful way to help isn’t just to feed someone for a day — it’s to be part of a solution that helps change their future. By working with trusted organizations and supporting coordinated outreach, your compassion can go further and truly open the door to lasting change.
