As you move about the city as you normally do, you’re Ready to Give in those moments you’re asked for help on a train, at an establishment, or as you’re walking by someone sitting on the ground.

Here’s how you might pass along the bags to our brothers and sisters.

1. Say hello, smile, and ask if they need (socks, feminine products, food).
2. If they say yes (and even if they say no), ask their name and share yours.
3. Hand them the bag and point out the resource card.
4. Offer a salutation and smile.
5. If you’re concerned for their immediate safety or health, you could call 3-1-1.

• Ask for the street outreach team and your call will be forwarded to “on the ground homeless outreach” where you’ll be able to provide info about the situation.
• An organization, such as Breaking Ground, will respond to the person in need within an hour.
