Kind Woman Bakes Banana Bread For Homeless For 45 Years - Inspirational Videos

Julie Garrettson is the definition of a kind woman. This amazing lady managed to keep a big secret for over 45 years, but now the word is out and everyone is talking about her.

Julie was just a teenager when she spotted 2 homeless men at a local park during Christmas time. She handed them each a batch of banana bread and their reactions were something she would never forget. Julie couldn’t believe that a simple baked good could change someone’s holiday season. That’s when she decided that she would bake banana bread for the homeless every single year.

It started out small, but Julie felt compelled to give back in whatever way she could. Over the years, Julie grew her Christmas tradition but still never said a word to any of her friends or extended family. That was until a few years ago when her son made a post of Facebook about his selfless mother and it immediately went viral. People from all over wanted to help Julie on her mission and now she is able to donate an entire goodie bag to each homeless person.

Today, Julie is sharing her story on the daytime show Pickler and Ben. After a battle with uterine cancer, Julie announced that she would be unable to bake her Christmas banana bread this year. But the hosts had a surprise in store for this inspiring woman and definitely full of Christmas spirit.

This time of year is all about giving back and loving others the way Christ loves us. Julie is truly the perfect example of what Christmas really means.
