Homeless Man Begs For Scraps, But Chick-Fil-A Manager Offers Full Meal Under 1 Condition

The homeless are people just like you and I. They may be down on their luck, but if Chick-Fil-A has anything to say about it, the homeless will never go hungry.

Recently, homeless man walked into the eatery bearded, dirty and not exactly smelling of roses. While some patrons avoided the man, the manager walked right up to him with one mission in mind. Bystander Joey Mustain describes what happened next in the post below.

“I took Stella to Chick-fil-A today. It’s our normal daddy-daughter spot.
We took a booth right next to the spot where you wait for your drink to be ‘refreshed,’ and we had a front-row seat to this beautiful scene: a homeless traveler had walked in and asked if they had any extra food.
Mud was wet and caked on his well-traveled shoes.
His hair was matted, and his beard wasn’t a statement as much as it was a necessity and a sign that he doesn’t get to shave as often as most of us do.
People near him kept their distance, but that didn’t stop him from being kind. He spoke to people who reluctantly spoke back, and he smiled while he waited on a manager.
All I could pick up on of the conversation was the manager saying that he’d love to give him a full, warm meal. Not just scraps or extras.
The only thing he required was that the man let him pray with him.
After the homeless man agreed, there was no waiting for things to die down, there was no scooting anyone to the side.
As busy as they were, the manager stopped then and there, laid his hand on the man, and proceeded to pray.
I heard love in that prayer. The homeless man wasn’t some untouchable stain on business. He was the reason that store opened its doors this morning (or any morning).
I asked Stella to watch and she stared. She asked what was happening and when I told her, she bowed her head, too.
I realized then and there that Chick-fil-A doesn’t simply do business for profits, they truly use business to minister….
I love teaching my daughter life lessons, and I also love being there to watch other Christians teach her life lessons. Thank you, Chick-fil-A, for taking care of the latter today.”

It is a wonderful thing to see someone practice what they preach. Let this be a reminder to us all, always be kind. You never know who may be watching. The next generation is counting on us! Let’s do right by them and leave this world a kinder place than it was.
