Charity & Fundraising Megathread
in Health ·
I’m honestly at a loss as to where to even direct this question since I have zero experience with this kind of situation. Does anyone here know the concrete steps for helping a family that literally has nothing to eat? They’re living out in a rural area with small children, and they’ve resorted to standing on the street asking for food and clothes rather than cash. They lack basic necessities like transportation or even a working phone. My suspicion is that the mother is terrified that if she approaches an agency like the Department of Social Services or any other government entity, they might take her kids away, so she’s sticking to asking people on the street instead. How can we actually help them? Who is the right contact to reach out to for real assistance? Simply dropping off groceries isn't enough, and it certainly isn't a sustainable solution.
