5 thoughts on ““Homeless. Anything Helps””
It really is sad to see so many homeless people. I just wish those people who pretend to be homeless just to get money when they don’t genuinely need it would stop and think that they are making it much harder for those who are truly in need.
Yes, it is. And the other problem in today’s society is that most people, including myself, don’t carry cash. I think the best way to help is take them and buy them a meal somewhere, but unfortunately I don’t usually have the time and often don’t have the extra money to do that. But it would “weed out” those who are really not interested in anything but money.
True. I found an idea online that I am thinking of implementing. It is to make up little gift bags of a few varied necessities and perhaps a small gift card to get a meal and keep them in my car to hand out as the opportunity arises.
That is an excellent idea. I’ll have to consider that myself.

Yes true. I live in a small town so I easily recognize those who are actually homeless but in bigger cities it would be hard to tell.
