Hundreds of boxed meals sat stacked up on a table in front of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church on Tuesday as homeless outreach groups worked on delivering the meals to anyone living unsheltered in Anchorage.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
“Those meals are distributed for each person that comes to ask for services,” said Anchorage Coalition to End Homelessness outreach coordinator Ryan Chernikoff. “No questions asked, they just come and get a meal. As long as their living unsheltered they are eligible for these meal services.”The new program gives out meals 200 meals, two times a week starting at 11:00 a.m., and hopes to open another food distribution site soon, according to ACEH.
The food distribution site is also providing hot showers through the organization Showered in Grace which has a mobile shower unit.
