Mark Clark of Hebron passes out hand warmers and candy Friday to a man in Lewiston’s Kennedy Park from the Prince of Peace Parish’s “Cross the Street” van. Standing to the left, Brother Rex Anthony Norris holds the man’s bag of returnable bottles while he collects the items he needs from the van. “We call it the ‘Cross the Street’ van because many people cross the street to avoid homeless individuals, but we do the opposite,” Clark says. “We cross the street to help people.” The project, run by the Prince of Peace Parish, has been active for just over a year. It started with volunteers distributing supplies from the back of a pickup truck before upgrading to a refurbished van, which is funded through community donations. “People give food and money,” Norris says. “We have women who knit hats and mittens.” Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
