Chili Time!

Setting Up

Immediately we had people coming over!

          On the 27th of November we made our way to the Downtown Eastside. We arrived not only with chili, but with the teriyaki rice that was given to us by Pam as well as some winter clothing for anyone to take. We arrived there a little after 1:00pm and began to set up immediately. We had a table for the food and we had hung the clothing onto the side of the bus. Shortly after setting up, people were approaching us and we happily gave them a bowl of hot chili or teriyaki rice or both! After collecting their food, many people went over to the bus to grab themselves a nice jacket or sweater and talk to our group. Only a half hour later, and all the food had been given away. The locals were very thankful for the food and clothing and our group could not have felt more satisfied. Helping others is a wonderful feeling and we were all really proud of the success of this project. It was a great experience for us and we hope to do it again soon!
