PEORIA (HOI) -- A local family is doing their part to help the homeless this summer in Peoria.
It all started when two best friends decided they wanted to make a difference. Along with their four kids -- they decided to take and give out waters and snacks to the homeless.
They've been at it for weeks, but especially during this hot weekend, they wanted to make sure they had cold waters for the community.
"We just plan to touch as many people as we can," JaKayla Johnson said. "Wherever we can. So see a need, fill a need."
Johnson's four young sons helped pass out the water and snacks. Her best friend Eve Bell used to run a charity called "Heart to Heart" and wanted to continue on the mission she started years ago.
"Imagine being out here all day and having nothing but a bottle of water to drink that someone gave you because they cared enough," Bell said. "That's what it's about."
They say they will continue to give out more water, snacks and care packages. Any help or donations are welcome.
Contact Eve Bell or JaKayla Johnson on Facebook for more information.
