ST. PAUL, Minn. — A group of hunters who met for a yearly wild game feast are now using their resources to help the homeless.
Every day members of the Ramsey County Outreach team are meeting people where they’re at. They go to where the unsheltered hang out during the day and pass out beef sticks.
On the back of the package is a phone number for resources needed to get them off the streets.
“You can’t drive anywhere in the city and not see an encampment somewhere,” said Kurt Krumell.
Those beef sticks are coming from a group called Hunters Harvest. The outdoors organization donates part of its take to help the military, first responders and the homeless in the capital city.

“Most people don’t want to be down here it’s just a situation of life,” said Darryl Spence.
Community Service Officer Rev. Darryl Spence has worked with the community for more than 30 years. He knows many now living on the street.
