Yonkers girl hands out food, clothes to homeless
A girl from Yonkers is helping those in need.
With the help of her family and community church, 10-year-old Chasity Bailey hands out clothes, food and toiletries to those less fortunate.
Bailey's mother, Titania, says her drive to help others runs in the family.
"When I was young, I would feed the homeless with my mom and so I was taught, pushing it to her," she says. "She'll do the same."
Bailey gives out food items like soup, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and empandas to help the homeless.
She says she hopes to make an even bigger impact for the homeless sometime this spring.
