But there was a news program on this evening about an organization called Loaves and Fishes who goes around town, collecting our homeless folk on evenings like this and get them inside and feed them a good hot meal.
Last year, we had one of our homeless women die of hypothermia because she slept in a doorway of a business downtown, so L&F is bound and determined not to allow that to happen again.
Stars in their crowns for this service.

Yeah, great service Loaves and Fishes!
Jennifer Gale died because she was not allowed into shelters here because she was trans. Outside of the church on UT's campus, of all things.
So it wasn't entirely hypothermia that killed her.
