10 More Ways To Share Your Abundance With Our Homeless Friends
10 additional ways you can make an impact on the lives of those without a home.
Earlier this month, I did a post on 10 ways to help our homeless friends, drawing on information I was given while researching a pamphlet for a local church. The post was well-received, and once published I realized I had left out some really good ideas.
So I’m back with another ten. These will give you ideas on how to address needs that might otherwise go uncared for.
Hats
It’s not true that the majority of the body’s heat escapes through the head, all other things being equal. However, if the rest of the body is clothed and the head is left bare, then it makes sense that is where the heat will escape. A knit cap is a necessity on cold streets in the winter.
Socks
Wet socks are an often overlooked danger to the homeless. They can lead to sores, blisters, rashes, athlete’s foot, trench foot, and frostbite. A fresh pair — and maybe an extra pair to stuff in their pockets or bags— are much appreciated.
