I was once homeless and I for one can appreciate the services that are offered by places like loaves and fishes. I know that in my experience of being homeless for 6+ years, I did not run across many people of the thousands I've met who REALLY and truly want to work. Not that I'm better than anyone, I'm not, but it is the truth. There are some who do,and like me, can not find employment because of various reasons, such as age, criminal history, physical empairments etc., but I do know that those who volunteer at these functions should be recognized and praised for their dedication and I THANK YOU ALL. I wonder if, though I'm no longer homeless, but still out of work, I could use these resources as well?

Look....I can not get a job. I've tried. I am forced to recycle to make ends meet and pay bills. I am partially disabled. I don't go on peoples property. I actually report those who do, so don't go stereotyping each of us that have no choice. Besides when you say the recycling money goes to help the homeless..RIGHT!!! What does it do for them? Not a damn thing. Before assuming this why don't you try going down to these HOMELESS help centers and try getting help. I'ts a big joke. So get off your high holier-than-thow horse and try looking into where the city's recycling money really goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
