4-Year-Old Feeds The Homeless

(NBC News) An Alabama 4-year-old is helping feed the homeless in his hometown.

Austin Perine decided to spend his allowance money on food for the homeless living in Prichard after a conversation with his dad, Terance.

Terance Perine says the idea was sparked while watching Animal Planet on TV. Austin asked his dad why a mother panda left her cubs alone.

“And I said, well, I guess it’s going to be homeless for a while, and he said are people homeless and I said yeah, some of them. And he asked me to take him to see a homeless person,” he recalls.
