A Central Florida woman dedicates her work to helping the less fortunate in her community.

Tonya Grose heads to church ready to serve in more ways than one.

"We want to come out, we want to impact these people," Grose said. "We don't want to treat them like we are out here just trying to make ourselves feel better."

She is part of Straight Street Orlando -- a non-profit dedicated to helping the poor and those in need.

The group feeds the homeless outside a church downtown every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evening.

"They're non-blood family," Grose said. "Honestly they are my family, so I'm just taking care of my family."

And a big family it is. They're feeding 200 to 250 people a night.

To show it cares, Grose said the group does more than just plate the food.

"What we do differently is we have benches, our friends come in and they sit down and then we have our volunteers actually bring the drinks to them," Grose said. "We bring the plates to them, we are fully serving them."

The food share is also a time for prayer and conversation. Volunteers are encouraged to build relationships with the homeless they're helping.

"We want to actually make them feel like people, and we want to spend the time loving on them and caring on them," Grose said. "Food is just the way to get them to where we are. Everything else is what's really important."

Grose hopes everyone involved leaves with a full body and heart.

Anyone who wants to help them feed more souls is invited to help serve.

Families, churches, and other groups are invited to help out by hosting a meal for the homeless. Anyone interested should be ready to serve 250 people.
