I don't know who this sign belonged to, as it was abandoned on the sidewalk. But I don't take photos of people when I do ops, because I feel that's exploitative, so this is a good stand in, I think.

This is an op in two parts, because when I went shopping I brain farted and only bought one loaf of bread. LOL

A week or two ago on fb, I said that I had an idea of what I wanted to do for my next #ophumanangels, but I would need to fundraise for it. Within a few hours, three friends had given me the funds, including our own khackett@khackett (thanks, Kelli!), so the op was on (after my bank took almost a week to transfer money. Woo corporate nonsense!)!

Operation Sack Lunch for homeless folx. :)

the noms

So I divvied up half the supplies for today's part, and when I go get more bread, I'll do another part. :D I delivered lunches to folx in my neighborhood today - didn't have to go far to find enough people.

sliced half of the giant block of cheese I bought to make sammiches

Today's half made 11 lunches.

They each contained a turkey, mayo, and colby jack cheese on white sandwich, a bottle of water, chocolate chip cookies, and fruit snacks.

all bagged up and ready to go

Then I took a walk down towards Colfax. Got one person a meal before I got there, and 9 more people in the vicinity of Colfax + Colorado. Went over to where two guys were talking, one lying down in his tent and one sitting outside it, and when I asked the guy in the tent if there was someone else in there with him and he needed another, he said no, but he'd eat two if I had it. So I gave him a second one and the other guy said, "Yeah, he's too skinny. We're trying to put some weight on him. He's got a fight coming up. He's gonna fight Muhammad Ali. You ever heard of Muhammad Ali?" Ha ha ha. :)

alt
five down, six to go after talking to those guys

Two guys declined but thanked me for thinking of them. Everyone was super nice.

the last lunch

The last lunch I left next to somebody's shopping cart of belongings. I hope they found it soon, because it's hot out again today despite the weather app promising a cooler day. But the cart was just parked in the open, so I don't think they would have left it like that for long. Maybe they were in the store getting something.

When I was done, I stopped at Sprouts to buy cocoa powder ...and forgot to buy more bread again. Narf!

alt
all done!

On the way home I passed another homeless guy sleeping. Not enough lunches. Maybe he was the owner of the shopping cart (it was close by).

So that was how I got my steps today. Bee excellent to each other, Hive fam!
