Long lines can be seen down the block as a Southern California food vendor serves up free food to the homeless in downtown L.A.’s Skid Row.

The owner, Chris Bailey, posts TikTok videos under the handle @kloverkinglosangeles, which have gone viral as long lines awaiting his food can be seen stretching down the block near 5th and San Pedro Streets.

"There's nothing more satisfying than helping somebody in need,” Bailey said.

Every Friday and Saturday, Bailey and his crew can typically be seen cooking fresh hot meals that are given to homeless residents who stop by.

"It's a blessing for the soul,” said Darlene Tillett, a Skid Row resident. “It's a blessing."

Bailey said they serve hundreds of free meals each day and rely on the generosity of their social media followers for donations. He is thankful for the fierce support he’s received from locals, including some who have even dropped off free food when he’s running out of ingredients on a busy night.
