    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

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

    One day I want to create a safe place for homeless people who can shower with real hot water

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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??
  • You can give them 15 dollar or 25 dollar GIFT CARDS from restaurants or clothing stores.
  • @mayday911us
    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.
