please do something nice for the homeless. it's rough out there. also many of us are americans and it will be winter soon, which is a hard time to be outside.

if you want to donate, there's the charitynavigator ranking for organizations that help the homeless. sorry, I'm not super familiar with which ones are best firsthand.

maybe also go to your local homeless shelter and ask what they'd like, or donate directly if they are reputable

There are many homeless people and how to help them is not always obvious. Some professionals know how to help the homeless.

last night, I was headed home on the road and they had to divert the road because a homeless guy was hit by a truck on the bridge. this made me sad but ultimately made sense because I drive by that area every day and there's no pedestrian way to get there, you have to cross the business freeway in the state, but there was sort of a protected area there and it was raining super hard

anyway please help, it's a national crisis. help in your own country if not american also please. or donate to america's homeless if you don't have homeless because you're in sworway or finmark or whatever

Homeless people often won’t eat food from random people because they are afraid of being poisoned. More McRibs for me, I say.

How many meals could you have given the homeless for the price of your fursuit pick? How many?

Me, I give my "reward" for donating to local public radio to provide meals to the homeless instead of a dumb coffee mug

The nice thing I do for the homeless is not call the cops on them if they're sleeping in their cars on my street because gently caress that's gotta be rough and better in a car than on the sidewalk, but if they could keep from shrieking and pounding on their cars at 3am and waking up the whole block every other night I might do more for them. Guy refused all the help I offered anyways.

It's nice to help but do you have fake homeless people in the US? Teenagers/early 20s people who go into the city during the day then take the money they beg to some creepy gently caress who buys drugs with it and probably fucks the underaged ones

It was a real problem here a few years ago, not so sure about now

Most states have a Foodbank, and they're stupid easy to volunteer for.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Maybe it'd be fun to do a thread about working at the food bank on Thanksgiving or Xmas.

I live in California where the narrative is that homeless people are all addicted to heroin and poo poo everywhere and are terrible and will murder you if you look at them the wrong way so my nice act is to treat them like regular human beings. It's not much but boy howdy, judging by what I've seen people say in local facebook groups, it's completely unheard of.

I'm telling you, doesn't matter what state you live in: your local food bank is a good place to volunteer.

Check your ballot measures and elected officials carefully. Mr. Dick voted down a tax increase for hotel stays. He could give out $20 a day everyday and still not do a fraction as much good as blocking that tax did.

I work really early so the homeless are mostly still asleep when I'm walking past. I sometimes put care packages of junk food and liquor next to them as a cool surprise for when they wake up.

I've got tiiits that swingle dangle dingle




It's really easy to put together a basic care kit relatively cheaply:
-good quality dark color backpack
-high quality socks
-gloves and hat
-wet wipes
-dark color blanket
-Meal replacement bars that won't melt
-Water, gatorade
-A small first aid kit containing bandaids, gloves, alcohol prep pads, condoms
-A small quality of life item (a comic book, a deck of cards, a pack of cigs, etc. personal item)
-For women, maxi pads

yeah, idk why I suck tho. I'd get approached by them every day, kids with iphones asking for money or sitting around in clean clothes smoking cigarettes next to their little cardboard signs that said they were pregnant. the "leader" was pretty well known around town before this poo poo started too

I guess it's a myth where you are and that's cool but lol this place is stupid
