When this US cafe owner sees beggars, he does not oust them, he feeds them [Video]

Charlotte Doran/Handout

Collin Doran stands outside the Homemade Cafe, his restaurant in Berkeley, California.

Soon after Collin Doran purchased the Homemade Cafe in Berkeley, California in 2011, he noticed homeless people would sometimes stand outside of his restaurant and ask customers for money or food.

It pained him to see them go hungry, so he came up with a plan: He’d give anyone in need a free two-egg breakfast with the works, no questions asked.

“Instead of ushering people away, I told them, ‘If you’re hungry, let us know and we’ll feed you,'” said Doran, 53. “Right away, people started taking me up on it.”

Twelve years and thousands of free breakfasts later, his offer still stands. But now, Doran’s customers are also chipping in to keep the free breakfasts coming.
