Reply to comment by missjennielang in giving small holiday gifts to the folks living on your street? by [deleted]

I’m not trying to solve the homeless crisis. I want to give my neighbors a Christmas present that actually goes to them.

So it’s recognition you’re after. Cool.

Im giving holiday gifts to my neighbors? What is wrong with you. I’m looking for gift ideas to bring a little bit of cheer to people who I see every day. You don’t know what non profits I already donate my time too. Go fuck yourself

I’m telling you how to help them more with the same amount of money… you can help distribute and hand the bags directly to them since you need the recognition

all you succeeded in doing was insulting and upsetting me for giving out gifts. I want to get them a present for Christmas, vs giving an org on another block $100 and hoping they benefit. leave me alone please

You can contact the org I gave you and personally hand them out with them. They have more purchasing power and know exactly what these guys want, you can give more for the same amount of money…

I understand, but I care about the 5 people on my block, specifically. How do I know the org will help them out? But I’ll look into purple stars, and see what they do during all the other times of year

Again- YOU CAN PASS IT OUT YOURSELF like I’ve said repeatedly. Do you want to help these people as much as possible or you want recognition? This gives you both
