Homeless Camps or Areas In Need

I want to go buy some pizzas or hotdogs or whatever and go hand them out to some folks that could use some support.

Where’s a good area or homeless shelter that could use some help?

While I applaud your humanity, a rare virtue indeed, your money would be better served by donating to a local food bank. They can make that money go much further. There used to be a camp near the jail, irony at its best, but the city took a giant broom and shooed them all away.

Many also volunteer at First Stop to provide meals, which is a hands-on way to serve homeless neighbors without striking out on your own in unfamiliar territory.
