MUSKOGEE, Okla. — A red tent at 12th Street and West Okmulgee Avenue became a place of hope on July 25 as a Muskogee family served hundreds of free meals and gave away clothing to people in need.
The event welcomed families and people experiencing homelessness, offering hot meals, clothing and a chance to connect with others in the community. Among those who stopped by was Rhonda Keeling.
“I have no clothing, just one pair, and I saw the sign saying free clothing and food,” Keeling said.

Keeling said the event reminded her that people in the community still care.
“Very humble, taking time out of their own lives just to help out people who don’t have anything,” Keeling said.

Organizer Kendra Justus said helping others is what motivated her family to host the giveaway.
“It just makes me feel so good helping other people that need it,” Justus said.
