They're calling it "snow-mageddon" here. Hundreds of flights cancelled, hundreds of thousands of people stranded or delayed...three massive snowstorms right on top of each other plus high winds and bitter temps. It's good to be home.

I always think about the homeless who are freezing out there. Lets add them to our prayers this season.

my family and i donated warm coats this year and last. we are feeding the homeless, as a family tomorrow, and my hope is that we will all commit to doing more on a regular basis.

Donated coats, donated lots of food and of course my time as well. Nothing left to donate and I am afraid to bring strangers into my home, all except for the four legged kind. Have three of them staying here with me now.

my daughters had a good idea: purchase socks, caps, and gloves and hand them out on the street. i am a little too timid to do that by myself, but might be able to do it with a group of people.

My friend and her daughter buy backpacks and fill them with warm socks, gloves, hats, and toiletries - as well as a gift card to McDonalds - and pass them out to the homeless. I think they only do about 10 each year, but that's 10 more that are helped.

She doesn't want to just give them money because she fears it will go to drugs or booze.

Whenever we go out in the winter, I carry an extra pair of gloves with me because I'm forever running into people (homeless and/or elderly) who don't have any.

Dancing Dolphin, I worked for many years in a soup kitchen serving the homeless; whenever people asked us how to deal with the begging on the streets, we suggested that instead of giving money they give gift certificates to restaurants. McDonald GC's were the favourites among the guys that we served at the kitchen because they didn't have to "dress up" to eat there.
