I live in an area where most of the unhoused people in my city stay.
It has started getting insanely hot. People are going to die.
If I load up my little buggy with an ice chest and water bottles, what would be the best way to get people water?
I’ve thought it might be good to wear some kind of church’s shirt or something - I know that police tend to fuck with people who help the homeless, especially in my area.
I’m too broke to give out sunscreen or other sundries but are there other things I should carry with me too?
I get if the answer is “just do it” - just looking for advice if other people have done this.
What I do is I freeze bottles nightly, and I put them in the same location in the shade every day
Initially I put a sign that says “water” but it only had to stay up for a week.
Word spreads on the street fast. Once a couple people know, everybody will know. Either by being watched, or due to the nature of vulnerable people to willingly share with others.
