The Charlie Book: 60 Ways to Help Homeless Kids grew out of the desire to create a compassion epidemic that would spill out across the country to at least ease the suffering of millions of homeless children and youth. This concise, 24-page handbook will provide the know-how for adults and kids, civic organizations and faith communities, scout troops and neighborhood associations to make a viable difference in their local communities for the mostly invisible families and youth experiencing a variety of shapes of homelessness. Those involved in this book believe that good people doing good things will mitigate the apathy and anxiety that grabs headlines and shatters lives. The Charlie Book offers a simple, doable approach to providing tangible help to young people striving to get an education despite the formidable challenges they face. The antidote to apathy is action. |

For those of us who have what we need, it is hard to imagine that many families lack the basics. The ideas on the left will inspire even more ways you can help! |

Many times, the barrier to escaping homelessness is transportation. The type of transportation help you will provide depends on the community, and the age/abilities of the person needing help. |

If you have the time and ability, you can work on the issue of homelessness. Don't underestimate your power! As a voter, you have a right and responsibility to bring these issues to your elected officials! |
| We suggest you connect with either your school district's homeless liaison (just call the district--they will know who to direct you to), or shelter staff, so you can coordinate your efforts with their needs. Thanks! | |
