I don’t think anyone is saying they are stopping...I’m saying people that just started are fuckkng gross..

2020-05-13 02:28:31 UTC  

Yup exactly regan

2020-05-13 02:28:46 UTC  

And honestly...that all pertains to normal life as well.

2020-05-13 02:28:53 UTC  

lmao yeah idk why no one was washing their hands after using the bathroom. i thought that was common practice, save the few gross ones

2020-05-13 02:29:34 UTC  

When covid wasn’t here, if you’re sick you stay home. Idk why people decided to go on a fucking cruise with a fever. Or go to Walmart. This country is fucked so many ways to Sunday it’s maddening

2020-05-13 02:31:02 UTC  

yeah for real

2020-05-13 17:33:04 UTC  

One idea I had thought of was homeless survival kits to give out. I wasn't 100% sure what all to put in it though. A mylar blanket, can opener and camping spoon/fork were some ideas.

2020-05-13 17:44:04 UTC  

Maybe basic first aid? Gauze and antibiotic ointment.

2020-05-13 17:52:18 UTC  

That’s an awesome idea

2020-05-13 17:55:50 UTC  

Give them salt and baking soda also

2020-05-13 17:56:11 UTC  

And possibly a hobostove

2020-05-13 17:59:04 UTC  

What would the baking soda be for?

2020-05-13 18:05:48 UTC  

Give them a gift card to some fast food joint. It’s better than cash or a grocery gift card cuz then they won’t buy drugs or alcohol and forces them to buy actual food

2020-05-13 18:06:23 UTC  

In the winter we could buy jackets and pants and wool blankets and include that. Even if you just got cheap good will stuff it’d make a world of difference

2020-05-13 18:21:41 UTC  

This is all really good stuff

2020-05-13 18:23:32 UTC  

There’s a big city in my town where homelessness is a problem. Like we pass them all the time on the way to the bars. I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while. If we had an actual pamphlet and we got a good group going we could stockpile a bunch of supplies and go hand them out.

2020-05-13 18:23:59 UTC  

That is based af. I dig it.

2020-05-13 18:26:44 UTC  

Is there someone working on the pamphlet now? I’m in a few different groups on here and there’s a lot of talk, which is good, but idk if anyone is on the task

2020-05-13 18:26:52 UTC  

These are amazing ideas

2020-05-13 18:28:14 UTC  

I mean I could get something going without the pamphlet. But it would be nice to rally around a cause and bring awareness when people ask

2020-05-13 18:34:43 UTC  

Gotta say..you can sell gift cards to these machines at stop and shop. And I had drug dealers that would give like 75 cents on the dollar for gift cards lol

2020-05-13 18:35:14 UTC  

If there is a will, there is a way when it comes to drugs and alcohol. Nothing with value is safe.

2020-05-13 18:36:09 UTC  

That's another argument in favor of actual items. No drug dealer is gonna take gauze and a can opener as payment

2020-05-13 18:37:31 UTC  

> Gotta say..you can sell gift cards to these machines at stop and shop. And I had drug dealers that would give like 75 cents on the dollar for gift cards lol
@GRANITE damn didn’t know about that. I never shopped at stop and shop

2020-05-13 18:38:04 UTC  

I mean yeah when a human really wants something they’ll go get it. They’d probably barter off clothes and even water bottles for drugs and smokes

2020-05-13 18:40:00 UTC  

Give out actual food instead of something to get it.

2020-05-13 18:40:15 UTC  

Make sack lunches or serve soup or whatever.

2020-05-13 18:40:59 UTC  

They sure will Regan. Especially for fentanyl.

2020-05-13 18:44:04 UTC  

There's plenty of places providing food and clothing here. Nobody to my knowledge gives survival tools.

2020-05-13 18:47:39 UTC  

We could give them like legit fruits and veggies and maybe some blankets maybe some first aid stuff

2020-05-13 18:48:25 UTC  

> There's plenty of places providing food and clothing here. Nobody to my knowledge gives survival tools.
@Bogs_Bunny there’s a couple around here but when I’m walking downtown it’s depressing walking by these camps of people just sleeping outside 24/7 with no hope

2020-05-13 18:49:04 UTC  

I get that’s life. And life sucks but if we do this and show we care about our communities it would be so hard to write a hit piece on people taking care of their communities

2020-05-13 18:49:32 UTC  

Like “local b**g boy takes care of local community. How dare they help people”

2020-05-13 18:49:38 UTC  

Luckily we have a place that serves three solid meals cafeteria style Monday thru Friday.

2020-05-13 18:52:27 UTC  

There's places here that provide clothing as well for free. Medical basics might be the way to go.

2020-05-13 18:54:24 UTC  

sounds like this pamplet needs to be localised

2020-05-13 18:54:47 UTC  

Gauze, antibiotic ointment, athletes foot cream, topical pain relief.

2020-05-13 18:55:06 UTC  

maybe make the bare bones with branding for the movement and then have a blank page where local information can be added for services that are avalible. then add it to the care packages

2020-05-13 18:55:42 UTC  

That’s a good idea
