We at Good Sam aim to provide insights to better inform and empower the Southern Illinois community, fostering an understanding of the struggles faced by the unhoused, and more importantly, offering them the compassion and support they merit. We continue our journey through educating local residents on the struggles of our unhoused neighbors with How You Can Help.
Today’s How Can I Help tip revolves around doing good things repeatedly, both for your own well being and that of the people you are supporting.
If you’re able, choose one small action to do regularly—preferably one of the pervious tips we had reviewed such as monthly hygiene donations, a weekly volunteer shift, creating care packages, or sponsoring bus passes. Steady support creates stability, and stability helps people take the next step toward housing, work, and wellness. Keep showing how much #SIcares!
