Whitney Bates, the founder of Feed it Forward, loaded up her car with homeless people from around OKC Thursday to take them to get a hot meal.

“We cooked eight turkeys. We have stuffing, dinner rolls, corn and pumpkin pie,” said Bates.

Bates started her non-profit last year on Christmas day. She said she packaged up all of their leftover food and took it to the homeless people. After that she said she knew this was her calling.

“I prayed about it, and I just did it,” said Bates. “I have never felt like this about anything in my life.”

Holidays aren’t the only time the team give out meals, they do it about three times a week.

If you would like to donate to the cause you can go to the Feed it Forward website.
