How come there are not more people who spend some of their spare time offering help to the homeless?

first off I am not trying to build a case against anyone! That is a easy way out, from facing my own shortcomings. It is so easy to find a co-signer for everyone and everything that does not go my way. I was homeless (I mean actually living on the street and not faking it) for 14 years. Everywhere from Seattle to San Diego and including Las Vegas. I'm telling you from my own expierence that my top priority needs when I was out there was a clean pair of socks and a sack lunch. I pretty much went through 3-4 years of transitional living before I was ready to get a place of my own. I am challengeing anyone reading this to gather up all the socks you never use (prefered white socks because they are more sterile and more cushion to them!) buy even just one loaf of bread, some sliced cheese, a pack of bolonga, mustard and mayonaise, some sacks for sack lunches, and get inventive. now put all this in your trunk and drive around all the spots where you have noticed street people and give it all away. I guarantee that you will feel real good after you have done this! There is so much that these folks need but of course just a little something mean so much to them. I live on a fixed income but in the past I came up with this idea about contacting business' to see if they would donate socks of maybe even products that are seconds that they cant sell in a store. If I could find somebody who would sponsor me that I'd be more than glad to go around and give socks away. Now, I would like to give a piece of advice. where the homeless are located there all also a lot of folks with criminal activity on their mind. NEVER!!!, set yourself up to be robbed by being so stupid as to open your wallet around these people. Ocasionally I will give some folks money but I will never be around street people with my wallet out of my pocket. I will usually p them up, decide to give them a little cash, put my wallet back in my pocket and then walk up to them to give it to them.
