    It is amazing to see the differences that people can make when donations are made, or even driving homeless people to a shelter to help them get their feet back on the ground.

    This is a great resource for the homeless. My family and I put on a Christmas party for the needy every year and we always invite the people from the mission. The Mission feeds and supplies a place for them to sleep at night.

    It's so heartbreaking to know that people have to dig through the trash to just get some "food". I don't think anyone wants to be homeless I think that people get to a low and have a hard time picking themselves up. It's the volunteers and organizations who give a helping hand out to get these people back up.

    This website gives information about homelessness in America. It also provides ways to help around your community or the bigger picture kind of stuff.

    This website is interesting. I also posted about foster care, which in a sense is homelessness of children due to being unsafe at home. I do a lot of volunteer work with homeless people. For some reason they have a special spot in my heart.

    Fighting homelessness is a great cause. Too often, assumptions are made about homeless individuals. Assumptions like: they're addicts, drunks, lazy, and more. Many homeless people suffer from mental illness. Some are veterans, and deserve more from the country they served.

    This article talks about Arizona cutting off welfare benefits after 12 months of usage. Arizona wants allocate the money into other programs. Welfare is hindering people more than helping.

    I think if they want to get people off welfare there should be a more effective way to push everyone to get back on their feet. Have the adults do volunteer work, drug testing and education and or work training to fall back on when the benefits are cut off. This will help with the adults who have no work experience or education, prevent drug users from taking advantage of the help and maybe some people will think I should just get a job that pays more. Mcdonalds pays $11.00 an hour now and you don't need an education to start plus they help pay for you to continue your education as a benefit. I was a single mom for 7 years, the struggle is real. After several different jobs I finally got stable at one, went to school full-time for 3 years then took a break, rented my own place, had a bucket for a car but got me where I needed, sacrifice and determination got me far without government help. Had I had government help maybe I would have been done with school years ago at 28 and I wouldn't be furthering my education now at 36.

    I was also a single parent of three for 13 years and yes the struggle is real but at what point do you say enough is enough? I agree people need help sometimes to get back on their feet but when do we put a limit on it? Unfortunately some do take advantage of the system and do not even put in the effort to be independent.

    I am not a mother personally, I can only imagine the struggles of having children, I can barely make it alone. However i have witnessed people around me who take advantage of this system and have heard others who pay taxes vent about how it is unfair. I agree that it would be a good idea for the government to have more opportunities for these families to get back on their feet. Drug testing would be a good idea and work experience would help them once their 12 month period ends to find an appropriate job to help with their finances.

They are here to help more than 200,000 residents that live in poverty. Prior to the setting up of SU2J, only 4 percent of the need was being met.

    Food banks do a lot to aid those in need and feed them, but is it enough? Despite feeding millions of bellies in the past 2 decades but that has does nothing to move the percentage of the population that remains hungry

    This is so interesting. I know so many people who benefit from the food bank but didn't realize that it doesn't budge the issue with food hunger.
