(14,120 posts)You can not believe how many little places there are local that try to help. Some of your local thrift stores have a special "back room" just for giving out cloths to the homeless. And some restaurants may be restaurants by day, but when the sun goes down, they become a soup kitchen.
They are hard to find, sometimes it is hard for the homeless to, but they do some of the best help.
For example there is a group in Springfield Mo called Moccasin Mile Outreach, they do have a facebook page. They mainly help with homeless vets. They look at each person differently. Because they see that every case is deferent.
Then there is a place in Tucson AZ called Guadeloupe's that give out food for the homeless. I mean that they make a large sack lunch that will last all day long so you can have lunch dinner and breakfast out of it.
Just look around and help them in your community. The best way to help is in your own back yard.
