Minnesota woman holds BBQ for dads experiencing homelessness

Tynika Smith, or Ms. T as she's affectionately known in the community, put on a barbecue at Peavy Field Park in Minneapolis for those without a place to go.

She also gave out clothing and hygiene products.

Smith provides other holiday meals throughout the year but says Sunday was extra special.

"But on a Father's Day, they're well, they're excited. They're like, 'We don't get thought about.' And having them come to the park and eat sealed it," Smith said.

Smith also thanked the Bloomington and Richfield communities for helping with donations.
