LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A video of two teenagers feeding the homeless in Los Angeles has gone viral.

Lance Stewart, 18, and his friend Adin Kolansky went into a McDonald's restaurant and ordered 100 McDouble sandwiches.

The surprised employees fulfilled the order, which came out to $151. The teens then gave away all the sandwiches to homeless people.

When they ran out, they bought more food at a nearby drugstore.

"I just thought it would be a very great opportunity to go out and help every single person that I could possibly do in a day. We probably did it for about six hours straight," Stewart said.
