Does your city have a homeless newspaper? Mine does, The Contributor, http://www.nashvillecontributor.org/.
It is a member of the North American Street Newspaper Association. I have picked up a paper several times now. They cost $1, and I always give the vendor at least $2. The articles are very insightful bout various aspects of homelessness, and I think most articles are written by homeless or formerly homeless people. The most exciting part is that the vendors, by selling the newspapers, are helping themselves out of homelessness. What a powerful thing.
