Donate money ď ˝
The easiest way to help the homeless is to donate your money to a nonprofit whose mission is to serve the homeless. This ensures that social workers and professionals who best understand how to help the homeless will have the resources necessary to do their important work.
Donate Items ď ˝
Donating your used or new items is another easy way to help. Donate these items to local organizations that house the homeless or otherwise support them. Alternately, you could provide such things to your local homeless population directly.
Educate others about homelessness ď ˝
Educating others could be as simple as correcting a friend or coworker about a homeless stereotype they express, or it could be talking with your local city or county politicians about the problems homeless people face
Encourage local publications to publish information about homeless shelters ď ˝
Many people are unaware that there are homeless shelters in their communities. Contact your local newspaper, religious institution, and the editors of local civic group newsletters and ask them if they would consider running a weekly or monthly listing of local services available to the homeless.
Start a blog about homelessness ď ˝
Instead of writing to established publications about homelessness, start a blog of your own to create awareness. Blogs are a great platform for you to share your understanding of homelessness and encourage people to help. Promote your blog via social media and encourage others to provide feedback.
Support Mental Health Services ď ˝
One of the best ways to make a difference for homeless people is to encourage and support access to free or low-cost mental health services. Support local mental health clinics and write to politicians about their importance.
Support Free and Low Cost Medical Care ď ˝
Basic medical care is also a huge problem for homeless people. They are more prone to serious health problems but are stuck in a position where they cannot afford help. Support local free or low-cost clinics, and work on getting more free clinics in your city.
