Reply to comment by sllewgh in It’s Giving Tuesday. I would like to donate to some local causes. I typically donate to Healthcare for the Homeless. Any other recommendations for local organizations that really make an impact? by beachie841

Thanks for this information. I will admit that I am not well informed on many of these matters.

You're welcome! I want to stress that neither charity nor Healthcare for the Homeless is "bad", and HCH is an essential service. It's the first place I would send someone who's homeless or about to be, it's a good point of entry and a gateway to other services. But... as I said, charity is not enough, and if you want to give, it would be great to also give towards really ending the problem.
