I brought some homeless people some of my turkey from Thanksgiving this year... I didn't just stop after Thanksgiving either.
Most people are literally a paycheck away from being homeless. It can happen to anyone! I went out every two days since Thanksgiving and gave food to the homeless. Some of them didn't want help, but many of them were thankful for the food.
I agree, I don't like it when people suggest, "Help out the homeless on holidays!" I mean, it doesn't hurt to help out, but don't forget about the homeless AFTER the holidays are done. Just because the holidays are over doesn't mean that homeless people stop being homeless.
In SoCal there are soo sooo many homeless people. It's actually very sad. There are so many tents and shopping carts all along the parks and the streets. I wish I could help them all out, but there are way too many homeless people and not enough help for them.
