Most of the people that they help have just enough income to pay rent on a very crowded place, and not enough for food and clothes as well. The COME program gives them groceries regularly, maintains a free clothing and bedding closet for them to use, and gives out presents at Christmastime. We have donated things to them for years -- I have been very impressed with the respect and care with which they treat their clients. I used to bring them overflow from my garden from time to time, too.
