Feeding the hungry, the homeless, the
old, and ill, and the handicapped!
Dallas' TURANT in cooperation with a shelter for the
hungry, The Austin Street Shelter, over a period of two
years fed thousands of street people. Hundreds of
Turkish families every month collected food and carried
them in their cars to the street shelters. It did not go
unnoticed. Dallas' newspaper Dallas Morning News made it
a headline: "Turks are feeding the hungry of Dallas".
In addition, in cooperation with "Meals on Wheels"
Ercüment and friends fed many homeless, old, ill, and
the handicapped people all over Dallas. It was easy. All
it ttok was phoen call to the Meals on Wheels people.
They were happy to see new volunteers. Ercüment Kılıç
asked them one favor "Can we say The Turkish Angels"
instead of "Meals on Wheels: when we knock on the doors?
The answer was yes.
Some food recipients who had never heard of the Turks or
Turkey, was asking in a few weeks when a Turk could not
be there that day: "Where is my Turkish Angel?".
There are thousands of Meals on Wheels kitchens all over
the United States. All that needs to be done is to be
registering one's name, and then indicating how often
one is available
