Every city has some sort of religious group that works to help the homeless. Wheeler Mission is the most known group in Indiana.
http://www.wmm.org/
They provide shelter, meals, and medical care for the homeless and struggling. They also run the Hebron Center- a residential recovery program for men struggling with alcohol and drug addiction.
It doesn't feel like much, but I gave $5 today. They made it easy and convenient by having collection containers at the check out lanes at a local grocery store.
But that $5 provides almost 3 Christmas meals at the Mission. So, in essence, I fed 3 people today.

I applaud your effort to find a good deed to do every day. It reminds me that if we all tried to make this a goal in our daily lives, mountains could be moved.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we look at the problems in the world and it can be overwhelming. How can I really change the world? Well it starts with people like you..and me...her and him...each laying a stone to build that better world.
You didn't just feed 3 people. You've fed more because your action have inspired me to buy a few extra items when I do my grocery shopping this afternoon and drop it off at the local food pantry.
Well now I'm inspired to do the same! Also I read the charity habit and realized i've been doing the goodwill donations wrong...should let the kids select stuff themselves, so now I'll do it right!
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiring blog!
