Meet "The Brown Bag Lady," whose wrong turn led her on the path to helping the homeless
Tom Wait introduces "The Brown Bag Lady," who once took a wrong turn when leaving a Lakers game that ended up being a move in the right direction, now having served more than 100,000 homeless people on the streets of LA.

Compassion comes in many forms. Sometimes it looks like stopping to jumpstart a stranger’s car. Other times it’s volunteering time or donating. For Jacqueline Norvell, compassion looks like a delicious prepared lunch served in a brown paper bag.

WELCOME TO THE HOMELESS CAPITAL OF AMERICA — SKID ROW, LOS ANGELES WITH bROWN BAG LADY!
Welcome to the homeless capital of America - Skid Row, Los Angeles. There are roughly 60,000 Los Angeles residents who are currently homeless.
Every week, @brownbaglady_ and her team hit the streets of Skid Row and provide meals and showers for the homeless. They have fed over 20,000+ people in the past few years.
Rents in Los Angeles County are INSANE!! Car insurance is stooopid expensive, and for a city of this size, our public transportation is not the greatest, so you are pretty much forced to have a car. Combine those 3 factors alone, and you have a homeless crisis.

THANK YOU @doseofsociety for including us in your documentary. We are honored and we will continue to fight the good fight!

Jacqueline Norvell is on a mission to help
the homeless one brown bag at a time!
YouTube's "60 Second Docs" introduced us to this charitable pioneer. Jacqueline, better known as The Brown Bag Lady, started her L.A.-based non-profit with hunger and compassion in mind. She and her crew pack 200 bag lunches every month to hand out amongst the less fortunate in the city's Skid Row.
Because of your donations, Brown Bag Lady is able to hand out scholarships to college-bound youth who are both academic superstars and active in their community.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
