I live in Dayton, I’m not sure around Cincinnati were the homeless are at.

it’s not very safe, but walk around on the street and ask the people who look homeless if they would look a goodie bag.

I would be glad to join you if i was 16 and could drive! but I am only 14 and my parents probably wouldn’t let me. good luck though and god bless you.

There are some shelters around where the homeless spend the night, so you could try there.
Some people will try to ‘con’ you into giving them a goodie bag, even if they arent homeless so please watch out for that.

Also, from experience, dont give out any money whatsoever. Some homeless people are drug addicts and/or alcoholics. The money they recieve can easily be spend in their addiction, which is NOT helping them.

You know how there’s those really nice people in the world who are just SO nice?
You’re one of them :]
