Those streets almost killed them.  Now that's where we set the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe bring the whole community together.  Hot food, hot coffee, live music, warm coats, new shoes, and clothes.  Service providers set up booths with free HIV and Hepatitis testing, Narcan, and Narcan training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne year we handed out 2,500 pounds of frozen turkeys.  Every year we serve anywhere from hundreds to 1,000 plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEverybody eats\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJudges and cops serve food right next to dope dealers and convicted murderers.  Trafficking survivors, veterans, bikers, gangbangers, court staff, and families from the block all eat together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNobody fights.  Everybody just gets along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of the people cooking used to be on the other side of the window.  Cresia, one of the women making the greens, used to sell dope to Ben and Jess out of a house we now own and shut down.  Ben stole dope from her once.  She went through drug court, got clean, and today she lives in one of our Hope Houses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thanksgiving before, she was behind bars.  This year she's feeding her neighborhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHelp us do it better this year\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis event runs on donations.  Your gift buys turkeys, sides, coats, shoes, tents, tables, and everything else it takes to feed a neighborhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive once, or make it a monthly gift so we can plan ahead and keep showing up for this community all year long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNobody's coming.
