here goes.
this idea came to me literally ten minutes ago, and i’m really excited about it. i think that i’ve finally found a way to effectively help others around me, in a way that is practical and useful to everyone involved.
my plan is to drop off backpacks at assorted shelters, soup kitchens, and sidewalks. these backpacks will be filled with things like blankets, toothbrushes, toothpaste, gift cards, books, toys, and any other useful items.
once this movement grows, i’m thinking of leaving “suggestion” boxes in areas with high homeless populations, so that the local homeless can request certain items or ways to improve the movement.
i’m going to pack my first backpack. here goes.
