"They were scrub-a-dub-dubbing Friday morning on the grounds of Saint Thomas Episcopal Church.
"'Everyone
deserves to take a shower and put on clean socks, no matter what
they've done,' said Peter Kelleher, also known as Soupman, as he stood
near his three-stall, portable shower unit on wheels.
"Kelleher,
58, has been on a goodwill tour assisting homeless people, or anyone
else on the streets in need of a helping hand, since September 2016 when
his drug-addicted son Travis died of an overdose in Bangor, Maine.
"A
few months later, Kelleher, who lives in Bridgewater, began using an
old Toyota pickup truck to deliver gallons of his homemade soup -
stocked with ground beef, carrots, celery, onions and macaroni - to the
homeless and street people in Brockton."
A recent Taunton Daily Gazette article reported on the ministry of Mr. Kelleher.
