Many of us want to help the homeless, but it can be hard to know where to start.

Here are 5 things you can do today to make a difference:

1. Volunteer at a homeless shelter.

2. Buy a meal or a coffee for someone in need.

3. Donate blankets, sleeping bags, or warm clothing.

4. Assemble homeless care kits with basic necessities.

5. Make a monetary donation to a nonprofit organization that serves the homeless.

Small actions can have a big impact on someone's life.

So let's all do our part to help those in need.
