Great idea. Best of luck.

You're organizing charity for the less fortunate?
I'm sorry, sir, I'm going to have to ask you for your Atheist Card.
Do you have any weapons in this thread?

Don't forget water. I find that a lot of people forget people need water to live.

Absolutely. We distributed many cases of bottled water during a heat wave this summer and we're aware of the need.
Day two, $200 gathered.
I have a line on blankets, gloves/mittens, hats and such in bulk. Back of the envelope calculations tell me $20 provides for one blanket, a hat, a pair of gloves/mittens and a care package with some essential personal items (toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.)

A good item for care package for women is feminine hygiene products. You'd be surprised how creative a lot of homeless women have to get during that time of month. I have 49 cents in my bank account right now, but I'll hit you up when I get paid. It's awesome that you're doing this!

I've got that in mind for sure Losty.
I've been incredibly fortunate that I didn't end up homeless at some point between 2008 up until about two years ago. I was briefly homeless in late 2008 but I had resources. I didn't have permanent housing until about three years ago, though again, I had the means and an employer willing to keep me on through long periods of mental illness. I rented a room and tried very hard to throw my life away. I hit the bottom, bounced off, and eventually got into an apartment three years ago and I now own a house other than the one I lost in the divorce.
I feel like I need to do this because most aren't so fortunate.
