How many times have you passed by a homeless person and wanted to help them, but didn't know what the right thing to do was?
I don't know if it's a problem in your hometown, but as you can see in videos like this one, homelessness is an epidemic in New York City where I live. If I had the money to help every single one of them, I would love to. Unfortunately, handing over money can be tricky, as you never know if they're really struggling like they say they are, and you simply don't know what they're going to use the cash for.
That's why I always think that giving a person in need something that can help better their quality of life is a better idea than simply throwing some change in their cup. I'll try to share my groceries with someone suffering on the streets or donate some warm clothing to them when I can, but the couple who made the following video have come up with a truly inspiring way to help.
As you'll see in this amazing clip, they buy used backpacks from second-hand stores and fill them will dollar store items to create a "homeless pack" filled with non-perishable foods, personal care items, and things to keep warm.
I think this is such a great way for others to get involved and help! You never know what kind of difference it might make in someone's life…
