You are right.  $3,000 can do a lot of things.  It sounds like homeless issues are important to you so I encourage you to use your time, talents, passion, and money to support those issues.  I hope others are respectful of the time and passion you'll pour into those issues that touch your heart.  Reverend Lucas chose to direct his passion and talents to this issue (among many others), one that many others also care about.  

Also, I'm not sure I understand the connection between "tuna noodle casserole" and "rainbow rifles".  But I can tell you that filling otherwise empty bellies isn't a bad way to "stop breeding hate."
