Knights Ave. Hundreds more volunteered. Last year's dinner fed around 250 people, prompting organizer Cynthia Pinckney of Cynthia Pinckney Ministries to say: "I guess next year we're going to need a stadium." Visit:

"We need some more help for the homeless," Mark said. "The cold is coming on real strong and we're just real glad there were no hurricanes coming through here or we'd be in real bad shape." The homeless, he added, "need some help getting back on their feet, that's the main thing. You get the rug pulled out from under you and it's hard to get back."
