A prophetic suggestion by a teen friend led to a couple years serving alongside very dedicated and caring people in two homeless ministries. That experience sparked a vision for expanded service. StreetLights was born out of a quiet heart overflowing with love and a vision for meals served to the poor and homeless community on a street in Burlington, Vermont. Beginning in early 2017, with a listening ear and a dozen turkey sandwiches, we set out to find hungry people where they linger on city streets. Word spread and we settled into a predictable location so they could easily find us. Those dozen sandwiches expanded into a weekly rhythm of alternating hot meals and sandwich bag lunches. From the back of an SUV, we serve as many as 100 people at our weekly meals. That number peaks in summertime, and we serve meals year-round rain, snow, or sunshine. We learned that our time, attention, and hugs are often treasured on par with meals, so we frequently spend a leisurely afternoon among our street friends catching up on their lives and cultivating friendships.
