Take your parent, go find a homeless person (or more than one) and ask them what they need that you can give them.  Another idea is to find the head of places that already help the homeless, and ask them either (1) what you can do to help the homeless or (2) what you can do to help the people who are already helping the homeless.  I suggest you talk to these people, you could probably do so via email or on the phone, get some ideas, and chose one of those!  \n\nOther ideas: If you are in a cold area collect coats, shoes, blankets, heavy clothes to distribute.  They need those at this time very badly.\n\nCollect money to donate to a shelter.  Have a bake sale and give anything not sold to the homeless.  Use some other fundraiser for this purpose. \n\nGood luck!

you could try private teaching or tutoring of a skill you know. the student(s) could just come to your house. you could teach a language or some physical skill like carpentry, whatever it is you know enough about. you could teach adults or children in your community. im sure if you advertise you will get some takers. hope you find something soon.

I think you should do what you were planning to do. Get them involved in helping others. Hopefully they'll feel good after giving that they'll want to do it more often and be grateful for what they have.

Well, in my town, they usually hang around Wal-Mart. Burger King is right next to it. There are not a whole lot of homeless people though. Most are veterans who are missing limbs, so I always feel really bad for them. I don't like just giving them money because you just never know what their going to buy with it (like booze or drugs). However, I hate to see people going hungry. So, I usually stop by Burger King and pick them up a meal. So, if your able to do this, that would be my suggestion. Or, you could point them in the direction of the nearest homeless shelter if you have one in your community.

At the school where I teach, students who are homeless and live in the district are entitled to attend school, and yes they do receive homework like other students do. It is sad to see these students come in, often tired, underfed and with their clothes not recently washed. Some families live in cars or vans. It would be nice if we could use a fraction of the money we spend on foreign entanglements to help these people.

No solution. If you create free housing for the homeless, more and more people will take advantage of it. This will drive more and more homeless people to the big cities, and your free housing will always run out of space. Plus, you are encouraging more people not to work hard and just take advantage of free housing.

Get everyone involved call your friends and neighbors to help with the benefit. Give everyone something to do. Set a date. Make poster. You need to call your local business and ask for donation and tell them what you are doing. Have your local news paper to advertise for free.  Have a raffle on something that one of the stores give you. If you can get a florist to donate a plant you could raffle it off.  Me and two of my friends had a befit for a small boy in our home town and raised over $3000.00 We used a vacated lot  and had a huge yard sale and had all kind of activities for kids and adults to do. We even had a local band to preform and Pepsi donate a drink machine. Ask the fire department and police to get involved. Ask them to let the kids look at the trucks and cars.We even got our med helicopter to land and it was a big hit. Have a bake sale. Have someone to sell hamburgers and hot dogs. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Tell the business's you will advertise their name on what ever they donated. And have fun. Good Luck

While I am all for being helpful, I believe that it is best to help Those who have to make their homes on the streets of our homeland first.Poverty is a problem here, too. I don't see why people are so quick to go rushing off to the aid of foreign countries when chances are there are people with just as great needs living in or near a dumpster or cardboard box just outside their own home. \n\nThe next time you're feeling helpful, Buy a homeless person a good meal. And be sure to ask what they would like. They are people too, so they may not like certain things, or may be allergic, intolerant, etc. In which case you wouldn't be helping very much.

Nice that you want to help them but be careful. I work in los angeles and see them every day. The old man who lives upstairs was inviting them in and giving them food and money. Pretty soon the homeless were hanging around the building. They break things and leave a mess inside the bathrooms. Now we lock the gates at night and don't allow them around here. \n\nI got to know some of them...they have no ambition. One guy I know drinks every day. His father cares about him and has told him if he stops drinking he will get an apt. for him and give him $300 every week but he refuses to go to rehab. \n\nI feel sorry for these homeless people but wish sometimes they would just go away.

Right here is one thing you do for community service.  Go to www.thehungersite.com\n\nIt is a totally free way to help.  The advertisers on the site send money to feed the poor.\n\n***Tell everyone you know about this!**
