***VERY IMPORTANT***

to maybe institute at all bottle depots, for more efficient/faster and safer service, since Im like the "Depot Diva" now Dumpster diver pro (roll of the eyes LOL), I wanted to make these suggestions

EDUCATION AND AWARENESS-BOOKLIST-GET INFORMED TO: 1) HELP Oneself best - need to be healthy to help othes get healthy
2) Help others best so are aware of their needs/how to deal

Develop Insight as "Insight ....adds...persuasion ....insight....slows down anger (Proverbs)

An Excellent way to help homeless is within the protective bounds of an organization that works with homeless-they are always looking for volunteers. DO RESEARCH and ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS to help you decide which agency would be a best fit For You to work with.

The nice thing too is there are some times where more help is needed than other times in the year (like big meals, food drives etc) or in general so you can choose to volunteer your time when you are able - every little bit helps!!

Here's some of the more "well known" ones:
