Feed A Homeless Person Challenge

Posted by Darius Bashar on December 6th, 2008

This was definitely my favorite challenge thus far. It was also the most emotional challenge. We were able to feed 22 homeless people throughout the street of Toronto within a matter of 90 mins and with less than $45.00!

Many were appreciative, some shocked and a few people were almost embarrassed. I think I can speak for all of the Daily Challenge team in saying this challenge made us realize just how lucky we all are for having a roof over our heads and food on our plates.

It is amazing how a slight change in perspective can open your eyes to an entirely new reality.

I know for me personally sometimes I can get so caught up in life that I almost forget to truly LIVE.

    In fairness though… that was an awesome challenge. I would like to physically be there for the next team challenge. :-)

    I once bought a sandwich from Mcdonalds and gave it to the homeless guy outside on my way out. It was a cold winter day too. But I’ve stopped McDonalds for a bit now, need to lose a few pounds ;)

    Either way, I think you guys did a wonderful job… I’ve already shared this post with some of my friends.

    Everything is looking good so far, and I truly believe you guys will be out there making a real difference.

    It is amazing how many homeless I recognize from that video. I wish we can do more than just handing out lunches, but really push for change. Keep up challenging the world one day at the time.

    That’s a very good thing to do, feed 22 homeless people in only one hour and thirty minutes. Most people aren’t aware of the harsh way of life the homeless have to endure on a daily basis, and every little bit helps.
