Word on the Street Holds Barbecue for the Homeless
Under cloudy skies, a barbecue for the homeless was held Saturday morning, July 27th, at the St. Vincent De Paul Park, in Baltimore. Bonnie Lane helped to coordinate the event. Baltimore’s own Duane “Shorty” Davis was just one of the cooks serving up the grilled food. A very nice crowd was on hand to enjoy the meal and there was even a DJ at the ready to pipe in some music. There were also plenty of selfless volunteers from a wide variety of groups to make it all come together. Ms. Lane told me: “All the food was donated.” Popular City Councilman Bill Henry made an appearance and made the rounds greeting old and new friends alike. Blessings on all who were involved in this wonderful enterprise. To learn more, go to: https://www.facebook.com/
