Think somebody started a previous similar thread. I didn’t pay too much attention to it. Don’t think anybody on this forum is too unfortunate, certainly not me. In a seemingly insignificant way, my attention was refocused. I leave early for work, it’s dark. I get home from work it’s dark. Coming and going I cut through a strip center parking lot to avoid a long light at an intersection. Last week I spot a shady character in the back near the dumpsters, I slow and come to a stop so that he knows he is busted. I’m not looking for trouble and neither is he. Just kind of slides off and leaves the area. No harm no foul. Early this morning, on my pass my headlights pan across the dumpsters behind the fence. Same dude. I thought he was dumpster diving or hiding behind the dumpster. No he was not. Just trying to make his home as comfortable as possible on a cold morning. Don’t know the circumstances and probably don’t want to. I packed a care box with a hoodie, warms socks, various other clothing items and some can goods. I will drop this late tonight after all is quiet for an unfortunate soul that is ALONE FOR CHRISTMAS. Merry Christmas to all.

He’s a sex predator who will do stuff to you. Nice gesture. But very risky endeavor.

I mean no disrespect, and I think it's great you're doing that...but I hope those canned goods are pull top, or that you also packed a can opener...
God bless, man. I hope it works out well and that the person appreciates it. It's definitely a kind gesture!

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

I'm cynical on lots of stuff, but not things like this. Good job.
