A kind woman, Champale Anderson, is using her resources to change the lives of many in her neighbourhood. For years she has been feeding kids.
When the mother of six children in North St Louis knew that there are people in her community who could not afford to eat good food, she provided a solution, BOTWC reports.
Pick free food or donate
The woman put a signboard in front of her house to tell people that they could walk in and eat free snacks and also that whoever wants to donate towards the cause can do so.

Champale said that she has been sponsoring the charity from her own purse. When donations came in from her GoFundMe page, she used it to get groceries towards making the free snacks, NY Post reports.
She became their angel
The woman started the initiative because she noticed that children were always hungry when they return home from school.
With her kind gesture, the kids now have a place to run to as soon as they get off their school bus. She makes 100 bags of snacks every day. Champale said sometimes parents follow their kids to pick up the food.
She said:
“Sometimes kids get a bag and come back to my house around 7 p.m. because that may be the only meal they have during the day. They ask for another bag and I say, ‘Of course'.”
Another generous man fed the homeless
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a kind young man, Derrick Walton, who was at a point in his life homeless, has extended a good hand towards people without shelters.
The man opened a restaurant that the homeless can go to every Monday and eat for free. He said those types of people in society always feel alone and unloved.
The man, however, stated that he made some poor decisions in the past as he immersed himself into a life of addiction.
