As you drive around the city, chances are that you barely notice the people that you pass by. All you notice are the bright lights of the big city and the tall buildings. The city may be an urban haven for you but that is not the case for everybody. If you take the time to look around, really look around, you will notice that there are people lying on the streets with no homes to call their own. They are hungry, cold and very desolate. These poor people have fallen through hard times and they need a helping hand to get back on their feet.

You, with your nice clothes and beautiful homes, are very blessed. It is not enough to just look at these poor people. You have to do something to help them. Donating to a charity is one way to give help for poor people. You can donate money online through the websites of various charities that aim to provide help for poor people. You can also attend charity fundraisers and donate money at these events.

The money that you donate as help for poor people will provide their basic needs. These poor people are hungry and they need to be fed. There are lots of charities that have feeding centers that give out warm meals to poor people living on the streets. It may be unimaginable for you how a warm meal can brighten the day of a person who has nothing but the clothes on his back. They have no money to buy food so a warm meal is such a big blessing for them. They no longer have to suffer through the entire day with their tummies grumbling from hunger.

Clothing is another need that your donation can provide. Giving them clean and decent clothes is such a big help for poor people. It is what keeps them warm at night. You have to admit, a decent set of clothes can do miracles in uplifting the spirits of a person especially the poor.

Shelter is very important for poor people. They have no homes to call their own and it can be very tough especially in the winter. Charities provide temporary shelter for these poor people until they can get back on their feet. The money that you donate for any charity that gives out help for poor people will go a long way.
