There is great spirit in Brighton for helping people. I know because we are at the sharp end! Most people, though, need to be shown how they can best help the homeless and those in need.
As part of a registered local charity, Crossover serves hot food and drinks to the homeless from a caravan and provides jeans, sweatshirts and blankets. We are helped in this by the police and Brighton and Hove Council, which has provided us with a pitch and its blessing.
If anyone is interested in helping, we are currently seeking £5 sponsors. This buys a pair of Army socks, a warm hat, a pair of gloves and will help towards a sleeping bag.
Please help us show God's love in a practical way. And, yes, do give out Mars bars and sandwiches. Do buy a Big Issue. It could be my son or your daughter out there. Show them you care.
