Thank you, bits, for what you are planning to do (and have likely done in the past). I think feeding people...body and soul....is one of the most Christ-like things we humans can do. I'm assuming you will not withhold the bag of food from someone who rejects your message of salvation. Offer both...let them choose which to accept.
I would join you, but I choose to serve the needy of the town I live in. Our church (St.Edward Catholic) has an emergency food pantry, and does a huge grocery give-away at Christmastime. I help with both of those ministries. I also am planning on helping at the Love-in-Action food pantry at the Assembly of God church down the street from St. Edward's. Food is given out there (to anyone who requsts it) every Friday afternoon.
I try to donate as much as possible to these ministries. I've found picking up loss-leaders (those super-cheap deals at supermarkets used to entice you to come to their stores) through the year makes my donation dollars go further. For example, every Friday Kroger offers a Friday freebie offer. You load it digitally onto your Kroger Plus card, and get that item for free on your next shopping trip there. The items are often products I don't use, but I "buy" them and donate them to the food pantry. Emoticon

Jehovah's witnesses while going from door to door we can see people that are in need of many things. This is what is called love for one another. People need more than just material things. Spiritual blessings are great for the soul some days just a good old fashion hug.. I would join you in you manner of help but you know who's massage I would have to preach. If you stand for your church then have a great time if your standing to help and just to do good deeds I would help. If from God then Gods From man let it be mans.

How can many of you take something so simple and good and try to thrawt it with negativity. Just leave it alone and dont bother if you dont want to help. Ps organizing something like this is not bragging or call attention to myself.

@Number9:
 
Bits is a liar and out for self promotion, while he rams his beliefs down everybody else's throats. I posted proof of his lies between this thread and the one I started in Religion if you doubt his lies.

bits1349 Again I posted what God Jehovah would do.(Matthew 6:3, 4) . . ., 4 so that your gifts of mercy may be in secret. Then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you.
Never Never Never should you my friend. Don't white wash the Bible and Gods laws.

I seen something like this once a guy was at the boobie bar and during his lap dances he was giving out religious flyers to the strippers he was saying call me if you need anything. I guess the church was having classes on how to deal with daddy issues. I found it cool that this religious man was willing to spend the night having lap dances for his beliefs.

@meanjarhead:
 
I've done that myself. Well, maybe without the religious flyers.

MJH, I was thinking about how I didn't see ONE street preacher in Vegas. I was very surprised by this.
