A non-profit dedicated to feeding people who are experiencing homelessness continues to grow.Be a Little Too Kind is being recognized as the Smith’s Zero Hunger, Zero Waste Hero for the month of November.“We feed the homies – that's what we call them – our homies,” said Jessica Lowe, founder of Be a Little Too Kind. “We feed them a hot, homemade meal each week, every Thursday. We also give them a sack lunch.”Since starting the non-profit in 2021, Lowe has seen it grow.
It is a labor of love because she knows it makes a difference.“We have been able to see a good handful of homies get off the street and go into addiction recovery and change their life around,” she said. “They reach out to us to let us know these new milestones in their life.”The cause is so important, she doesn’t even take time off for the holidays.“I love spending Thanksgiving with the homies. It’s the best way to spend Thanksgiving,” she said.
