54 Ways You Can Help The Homeless - Overview

III. Give To The Homeless

15. Give Toys

Children living in shelters have few possessions--if any--including toys. Homeless parents have more urgent demands on what little money they have, such as food and clothing. So often these children have nothing to play with and little to occupy their time.

You can donate toys, books, and games to family shelters to distribute to homeless children. For Christmas or Chanukah, ask your friends and co-workers to buy and wrap gifts for homeless children. Donate them to organizations or programs that reach homeless children, such as Toys for Tots.
