This permanent A+ list musician who rarely rarely sings but has had a lot of hits with people he brings in donates about 1,000 bottles of water each day to a homeless shelter and is out at the same shelter several times a week serving meals.

Always loved Carlos.
very spiritual dude
He seems like a good guy.
Awesome. One of my all time favorite guitarists.
What an amazing man.... Interesting Enty left out "Foreign born"
Santana are absolutely amazing live. And he is a virtuoso on the guitar. No surprise he did this, he's a humble beautiful soul.
+1 his guitar riffs are phenomenal
Viva la santana!!
That is so decent of him, that I am going to go out and buy all his cd's.
love, love love Santana.
There is probably a reason, but bottles of water? Don't they have current water (or whatever you call that kind of water that most of us peasants drink that comes from a water tap)? Serving meals and spending money is nice, but giving them a couple of glasses in order to use with a water tap would save money to use in other less easily foundable things like food, shelter or sartorial related stuff.
Somebody asked this when the blind first appeared. A poster mentioned that the people can take the bottles with them during the day or night. They are homeless. They might not want to go to the shelter to get a glass of water This is awesome, especially in climates where one needs to carry water with them all day.
Or they can recycle them for drug/booze $
Yes because all homeless people are just about booze and drugs. Consider the state of mental health providers or that most families only have enough in savings to live for 1 month or the cost of healthcare these days. We are all one event from it. Show some compassion and consideration.

@Meg comment is a false stereotype that's been shoved onto the US public by the media, etc.
I work as an advocate for people who are disabled, living in poverty, abused, etc. for a group of cities w/ populations of approx 200,000 combined.
On average, we get calls from 12 people per week who are living out if their cars. 90%+ are two parent families with 1-3 kids. They aren't addicts, mentally ill, or disabled. They have lost their jobs & have no home. The only work they can find us minimum wage, which in no way is enough to support even 1 person to above the poverty line. There is a tremendous need for affordable housing. Just as horrible - both utility companies can legally shut off someone's power even if they need it to live. Seriously. I've seen it happen. Person was dependent on O2 & was told to "take their O2 machine & walk to a neighbor's house & plug it in" by a supervisor @ electric company.
Don't buy into the BS the media feeds you. There are millions living below the poverty line who do not fit the convenient stereotypes the media portrays.

You sound like a wonderful person, cinabun. I wish there were more people like you in the world.
Aw shucks, Wendy, thanks! Just feel it's very important for us to all help each other whenever possible. :-)
