here ever since and 1 love it. People come in here
hungry and I just love to see them eat.
"Sometimes I take money out of my own pocket 1
to help feed the people," she says. 1
Small has been taking money out of his own
pocket for over 16 years now to help others in need.
The Home of Hope is where Small has invested I
most of his money over the years. The structure on 1

An average of 30 per day take advantage of the
free breakfast, which begins at 7:30 a.m. The diners
usually file out by 9 a.m. in search of a job or to go
