CasaRush has been talking about how to help the homeless without breaking the bank and without housing them on our couches. A couple of us have been traveling to and from work with an extra piece of fruit or a can of Slim Jims to give out rather than money. Recently, we got the idea of giving a bag of items that they can really benefit from: water, granola bar, soap, shampoo, socks, chips, toothbrush, toothpaste, slim jim and a few other items.
We made enough bags for each vehicle to keep 2 with them. Our goal is not just to throw a bag out the window and drive off but to genuinely show these people being cooked by the 95 degree / 75% humidity weather that there are people that care about them, understand the hard times and are doing the best that they can instead of just finding something leftover in their car to give them.
What can you do to make a difference? We will be creating more bags after all of these are gone. It won’t take long for these bags to be gone either. Only 2 per car isn’t a lot but we can’t afford to make these bags weekly for these men and women that stand on the side of the road.
If you feel like you can assist, we are accepting donations and 100% of the money will go into buying supplies. “Is CasaRush a 501C3?” No, we’re just a group of people trying to help less fortunate people. We’re not looking to make money through this, we’re looking to assist people through this.
You can either stop by with some supplies, use the donate button or pray for provision to come through. Thank you.
