The Shack, thanks to all of the food & monetary donations that have come in the last few days, handed out approx 40 bags of food items today to folks who rely on SNAP Benefits. With the Government Shutdown and the unknown status for SNAP recipients this month, we are emptying the Pantry Shelves to those who dont have Plenty! Thankyou to all who have contributed in one way or another! It Makes A Huge Difference💙

DRASTIC TIMES CALL FOR DRASTIC MEASURES…..HUNGER CRISIS!
42 Million people are at risk of losing their November SNAP benefits. The Shack serves many folks in The Community who rely on SNAP to purchase food items. No SNAP means No Food for our neighbors! Across the street from The Shack are Government assisted apartments with families who rely on SNAP TO PUT food on their tables. The Shack is Not a “Food Pantry” but we do try to keep the Pantry stocked with food items to help folks on an as needed basis and also for preparing meals that are served at The Shack. We are approaching a Tsunami hunger crisis come November 1st if SNAP IS NOT Funded by the Government. We are on standby to Empty the Pantry shelves of any and all food items to help provide meals for those who will be hardest hit in the community. If you can donate any Food items in the next few weeks to help keep folks fed, you may drop off at The Shack anytime. David or Brittney are always there to Serve!

Its Not always sunshine and roses but we try😎 Sundays are typically hectic as so many people come in for a hot meal or a sandwich, shop the Free Store, take showers and maybe stay for Church! It takes all Hands for things to run somewhat smoothly. We appreciate all The Lovely Hands on Deck that show up every Week to make this happen! David runs the Free Store and keeps everything moving along with all the fabulous finds & treasures that have been donated by people from everywhere!

The Rest of the Story…….. On a Cold Snowy December Night in 2010, we were dining at Applebees on Baseline! As we sat there watching the snow accumulate thinking, we better hurry and get going, we saw him! A Homeless Man pushing a Walmart Cart with all of his soul possessions in tow. It was FREEZING out there ❄️ Marty got up from our warm cozy booth by the window and went outside. I hadn’t the foggiest what he was doing until I saw the exchange happening right outside my window. With A simple greeting and a handshake, Marty reached inside his coat pockets for his pair of gloves and handed them to the Gentleman pushing the Walmart Cart. Thus began a friendship that would Open our eyes to an unimaginable world and a brand new community that we had never laid eyes on. The Homeless/Unsheltered Community. They called him “Bagman” on the street, we called him, William! He was as chronically Homeless as you would suppose one to be. Underneath all the garments, was a Human being, A Man with a turbulent Past who was riddled with addictions. We came to know & Love William over the next several years and would learn that he had a beautiful Family over in Tennessee. Through the wide wonderful world of Social Media, we were able to connect with his 2 Sisters, Lee and Leslie! William faded in and out of our lives over the course of the next 12ish years. Addiction & homelessness knows no bounds. In a naive attempt to help him “get away from the crowd and get off drugs” he and his sweet dog and companion, Lady, stayed with us for about 6 weeks. William left unexpectedly, returning to the crowd and the Life that kept him shackled. His companion, dog, Lady, stayed behind, with us🐶 Through FB, I periodically stayed in contact with Leslie & Lee, informing them of the latest sightings of William and relaying any words from him back to them. Succumbing to the perils of the world in Which he lived, William passed away 2 years ago! He knew Jesus. He was Free at Last!
Last week I received an out of the blue message from Lee! She and her Mom were coming to Little Rock to see Nate Bargatze and she had an extra ticket and asked If I would like to go with them! Sayyyyy Whattttttt!!!! We had yet to meet in actual person after all of these years! Of Course I wanted to Go! Last night we met in a sketchy parking lot by Simmons Arena. 2 total strangers coming together for the first time. A Friendship made possible by a troubled homeless man we encountered 15 years ago. A Man She calls “Bubba”! A Man named William, we call Friend! William King, You have a Beautiful Family! You Mattered! Because of you, we are linked together. You made a difference. You are LoVed💙 “He has made everything beautiful in His time”.
