Do you feel compelled to help out the homeless, but not sure where to start? Front Steps Development Director Amy Price breaks down 6 ways you can lend a helping hand.
There is an old elementary school, near me, it would be perfect for transitional housing, charitable events a soup kitchen. I pray that a local charity, love him love them, gets it for this purpose. It would help a lot. God, please answer this prayer. Amen
These tips are more helpful than I expected, like some of the things you talked about with food. I don't think I would've thought of some of these on my own. Thank you 💕
I love these! I've often wondered what the best things to give and do for homeless people are. I give out toothpaste and toothbrushes currently and will reconsider the packaging I give it to them in. I also love the idea of giving them trash bags and giving them cash for a bag of trash. Is there a way to do it so that they don't abuse the opportunity by just going to a dumpster and refilling it with trash to give to you? Has anyone had experiences with some doing an exchange like this (gift for work or gift for a gift)? I love the idea. I know many may have reasons why they aren't employable but I do see the benefit and simple opportunities for them to pick up trash in the area.
You can get started by making a care package if hygiene things they may need in the streets and add a cold drink of water or other thing ... Some don't have teeth and are diabetic so sweet soda no always good for them. Toilet paper some alumin foil slices folded, paper towel or disposable wash towels.a $vinyl table cloth can serve as a place to sit or eat on and also mark their living spot with their belongings on..instead of lying on dirty ground. A garbage bag..and shopping bag to carry stuff in. A travel Mini soap mini toothpaste and brush $1.00 mini,.shampoo . Put in gift bag $1. 00at dollar tree.. And ramen noodles in a cup. They get hot water at coffee shop. And plastic folk n spoon .
This is the most helpful video I've seen I've seen on this. But we've got to find a way to bring them cold water without those plastic bottles because that's the worst of the plastics choking the planet. Maybe have a water station where they bring their own bottles??
I plan on making water free in my state through a for profit company I’m going to create once I get the ball rolling on my anti spike campaign for my e-commerce company.
Yeah just because you're trying new programs and people claim to help yeah people are forcing their beliefs on other people yeah to help them yeah that's kind of a joke
Homelessness is a choice, specifically the result of many bad choices. Giving homeless food or money is a TERRIBLE thing to do. The family of the homeless WANT then to get off drugs and get off the streets. Please stop enabling homelessness.
@strangerthatyouusedtoknow1093 not every human is born with arms and legs. It is highly unlikely that the average person will ever encounter a homeless person not under the influence of addiction who is choosing to live the homeless lifestyle.
@andrewgoss6486 are you under a rock? I know a few... In a couple of years we all will know someone homeless that doesn't choose it, and isn't an addict. All it takes is one illness, disability, job loss or family breakup to put half the population on the streets within a year. And it's getting worse...
Everyone makes mistakes in their lives, some bigger than others. These are still people who need the basic essentials like food, water and shelter and care - good physical health and mental well-being. Only God can judge us at the end of the day.
Some people can’t afford to live in a room apartment that costs 1,800 with a minimum wage.some people can’t afford to go to college to get a better job and not be on the streets.Some people have mental illnesses and were never help so now they turn to drugs at there way of coping.People are actively going to try and do the best for themselves but sometimes they need support, a helping hand to get back on there feet.

I love the idea of handing them a bag to pick up litter and paying them for it!!

Great advice. My church gives out care bags to the homeless. Will rethink how we prepare them.
Yeah I used to make care pkgs for homeless ppl I knew and even created work to earn a few things they needed.
Why don't you do it anymore?

How to help the planet
You can give them 15 dollar or 25 dollar GIFT CARDS from restaurants or clothing stores.

Not everyone that suffers homelessness is on drugs.
