Many of the homeless peopleare mentally ill, and they cannot deal with their financial situation. They lose their home, their job, everything.It is very sad. Their health problems are often even greater.Good of you to draw the attention to this problem. <br />Wil, ABCW Team.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-11767621910169328792013-09-05T12:19:04.688-07:002013-09-05T12:19:04.688-07:00There are no easy answers.

I am involved with the Placer Food Bank.<br />I think we just have to help where we can. The poor and homeless will always be visible.<br />I totally agree with Kate's comment.photowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-68644692544575578862013-09-04T18:52:04.475-07:002013-09-04T18:52:04.475-07:00Your question is worth $64,000!

School groups often do community service there, too. Many churches provide shelter on both short term and long term basis in both Twin Cities. Lots of people volunteer to make meals and some groups have opened up stores for free clothing. I'll have to stay more alert to see how our two cities provide basic health care and basic hygiene help. Yet, there are people sleeping under bridges and other places. I just posted a description of how I and a friend help just a tiny bit by picking up bread and pastries every Monday from a local bakery/restaurant to take to a church where supper is provided to homeless kids and young adults by other volunteers. Homelessness is a massive problem in a country that is as rich in resources as ours. Better mental health assessment and care is one of the significant problems.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-82077726568288754452013-09-04T05:02:16.041-07:002013-09-04T05:02:16.041-07:00Its worse in my country and homelessness is more o...Its worse in my country and homelessness is more of a preference here which is curious<br /><br />PhenoMenon, ABCW Team<br />http://throodalookingglass.com/2013/09/peacock/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340428026654243428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-67114935607975728072013-09-04T03:18:42.443-07:002013-09-04T03:18:42.443-07:00There are shelters for extreme weather and food pa...There are shelters for extreme weather and food pantries.
