One family hosted a pre-Super Bowl party with the homeless at Santa Rita Park on Saturday.

The event had food, games, prizes and haircuts for the homeless. 

Gary Stoe says he does these events for his YouTube channel to show a different side of the community. 

"It really changes their day. People look at them a certain way out in the community. So when we come here and we don't judge them. We give them prizes, cash have fun with them. I think it changes the way they look at the community," Stoe told KGUN9. 

Stoe gives them medical supplies, first-aid kits, and warm clothes as gifts. 

One man won a walker and he says he's going to give it to a friend in need.
