鈥淲e realized that (during) summertime people often forget there are people in need and the idea of bringing a BBQ to the park to bring awareness to the fact that people are still homeless in the summertime and it can be tough for them,鈥� said Randy Benson, executive director of the mission.
鈥淭Here鈥檚 a lot of appreciation (for the BBQ),鈥� he said.
The Gospel Mission had 2,000 burgers, bottles of water and chips for last year鈥檚 event.
