We will be hitting the streets for 10 weeks from the 28 December every night in Torquay and Paignton with our Hot Food Distribution Service and providing drinks and hot food, hats and gloves to meet the real needs of those who have no place to go….. not even a stable ( is it too early to mention Christmas?)
We will be starting our food runs and serving food and warm drinks to the homeless from 7pm to 9pm .
Last year we had some nights where the demand so so great, we struggled to mee the demand. This year we are ramping up to provide more meals.
I am sure there are many question and they will all be answered.
Please note - we are aware that others are handing out sleeping bags to the homeless at present and we do not want to duplicate this, so we are looking how best to provide either alternatives based on the feedback we are receiving.
