Backpacks for the Homeless

Written By Cresent Haynes

So often so many of us, walk right past those who are less fortunate. We don’t even look them in their eyes. Maybe it’s because we just don’t feel like being bothered. Maybe it’s because we have preconceived notions and prejudice about the homeless.

They are human like you and I and they could use some help. A smile, a simple “hello, how are you?” could change a persons entire day and outlook.

You never know what someone is going through.

A.E.M will be doing a supplies drive for the homeless. We will be collecting backpacks and filling them with essentials items, such as, water, snacks, clothing, hygiene products, etc.

We could use your help with collecting supplies and distributing the backpacks throughout the DFW Metroplex.

Every bit helps.
