Four organizations on the Treasure Coast came together Sunday to help the homeless population in our community with a hot shower, fresh clothes and a hot meal.
“There’s a huge unhoused population in our community right outside our door,” Arica Anderson of Psi Pi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.
The sorority partnered with Care Bags, St. Mary’s Episcopal church and the Omicron Tau Chapter of Omega Psi Phi to provide food, clothing, and a shower.
WPTVGary Lee was among those who was helped by the organizations on Sunday.
“I would say it’s a God-given gift,” Lee said describing the help he received.
He said he is in between living situations right now, but it’s events like these that give him hope for the future.
“It shows that people care,” Lee said. “It shows that people have a heart.”
“I think it’s important that we show the community that we’re more than just a social gathering or social fraternity,” Durone Glymph of Omicron Tau Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. “We do give back and we do care about the community.”
