minus-squarejohannesvanderwhales@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·24 days agoDo you think the best way to help homeless people is to give them money directly, or donate it to organizations that help them? Not sure if there’s a right answer.
minus-squareC A B B A G E@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·24 days agoThe right answer is “yes”. Some cash in the moment is a nice thing to do, and will alleviate an immediate want or need potentially. Donation to an organisation that will help the problem long term is a worthwhile thing to fund. Why not give a man a fish to eat while you’re teaching them to fish for themselves, if you’re in a position to do so?
