Tip: How to help the homeless near you

As the winter weather continues and the temperatures drop to dangerous lows, homeless shelters become overcrowded and struggle to meet demand for shelter and available beds. This is especially true now due to limited space in order to maintain social distance due to the ongoing pandemic. More and more people brave the dangerous weather sleeping outside. 

Are you looking for a way to make a difference for those without shelter? You could collect an array of hats, gloves, scarves and socks to keep stashed at home or in your vehicle for the times that you see someone in need. This is a simple way to help those experiencing homelessness during the winter season.
