There are several things you can do to directly to make a difference. In order to do something, you must first get involved. I suggest you start by contacting your local volunteer center. They can find specific volunteer projects for you, and they can also provide you with contacts at specific non-profit agencies in your area that specialize in the area of homelessness, such as shelters, food banks, and so forth.

Here are some links to help you find your volunteer center:

If there is no volunteer cener in your immediate area, you might also try the United Way, as they can also connect you with different non-profit organizations.

Through my volunteer center, I have worked at shelters where we feed the homeless on a regular basis.

Good luck!

Once a week but a bunch of sandwiches and water and distribute them to random homeless people. That is a good start.

give them a shower, a hair cut, a new set of clothes and help them get together a resume and then line up some job interviews for them. maybe make a charity building where they can go that will do that for them.
