Feed the Hungry !!
The homeless and hungry need food
What is this thing called homelessness?
Homelessness is a big problem in our community. Homelessness is when someone doesn't have a home to go back to every day. Also, when winter comes they don't have a nice warm house or a big puffy jacket. Not only are adults homeless, so are many children. They don't get the usual life of a California kid; they live on the streets and feel scared. The reason we need to help the homeless is because we all at least deserve to have our basic needs met in life.
Causes
The cause of homelessness is when a person loses their job for some reason, then they do not have enough money to pay for housing. They then end up living on the street or in an alley way. It is very hard for them to get a job after they become homeless.
Statistics
According to Project Homeless, 11% of the homeless population in the U.S are veterans. Do we want to treat the people who protected us and risked their lives to be on the street asking us to help? Our veterans should not be treated like this; we need to help them.
What can WE do ?
One of the things that we can do to help the homeless is that we can pair up with an organization that helps get food for the homeless, but is this all we can do? We can also pair up with other organizations that help homeless get jobs so they can start a new life.
