As a homeless person living at the shelter during 2019, it quickly became evident to me that many items that were being donated to the homeless just made life harder.
Here are a few things to stop donating and what you can donate instead.
- ”Postage stamp” blankets. They sell these things by the boatload at Walmart, they’re soft, cute and utterly worthless as a blanket for an adult. Homeless people are issued one blanket a day. So keep these tiny things for your poodle and donate a decent blanket.
- ”Family” or “economy” sized toiletries.
