Awesome receiving messages from people who have already gone out there and started trying to help society from all walks of life. From a few of the messages I received I think it is important I make this point. Sadly a lot of homeless people suffer from mental illness and grew up in violent environments, so please approach in a soft, caring and cautious manner. Simple as Are you right for food there friend? Shit its hot! Do you need a drink? etc etc Then just ask them how there day is going and so on. If they want to share with you they will. For people I heard from who wanted ideas for what to do to help, I am not an ideas kind of guy lol But some of the things you can do are simple as -Offer food/drink -Offer clothes you dont use that are actually decent (they have to pack light and often throw away clothes when too dirty) -Offer to wash some of there clothes for them -Offer spare bags for them to carry items in -Offer cheap toiletries (not second hand lol) - When leaving tell them they have not been forgotten about. If we see someone in need or is struggling I think we shouldnt wait for them to ask for help when we can offer help. I hope that doesnt turn people off from helping the homeless. If it does find another way to do your little bit.
