    If the same people ignoring the homeless started acknowledging them and helped them, they could literally save lives. I’m not saying we have to give them money because people don’t like the uncertainty of where their money is going. There is so much more we could contribute that could help them even better. I want to personally be more involved in donating my time to get to know these people and help solve their problems. I would like to organize a local soup kitchen and serve the homeless just like they would be served at a restaurant without the costs of dining at one.…
