In Southern California, parking meters have begun putting change submitted by individuals towards benefitting homeless people. Earlier in the month, Los Angeles unveiled 6 new colorful meters that collects coins for C3, the Skid Row-based charity, which is a nonprofit dedicated to pairing homeless residents with housing. Apparently, this idea was introduced and approved 5 years ago. Yikes. The meters will raise money through sponsorships costing 3,500 also.
I continuously witness events and movements eliminating absences of homeless aid, but the percentages of poverty and homeless people seems to steadily rise regardless of efforts. Oh well.
