SAN BERNADINO CITY MISSION link
THIS IS A CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS MISSION and is not a public service of San Bernadino, the City.
On thier list it says not to give a homeless person cash, instead buy them food.
We guess the fear is that the cash will go for drugs or beer, but we say, HOW DO YOU KNOW?
The cash might go for drugs purchased over the counter - like for cramps, or for tampons, or for a bow for babies hair. It might be going to buy a bus ticket to another town.
We are suggesting that if a homeless person asks you for money for food, ask them if they have ever applied for Food Stamps, or give them some information that could be helpful, like where there are free hot meals, showers, or bus tokens being given out in your area.
