When you give 'em shelter, they still need a place to sleep

One of the issues surrounding the dilemma of homeless people becoming 'homed' is in maintaining their new domiciles. Think about it, you take someone who's lived in either communal or group dorm residency and throw them alone in a place their supposed to be responsible for.

Many times I've seen people live for months on cold bare linoleum floors with nothing more than sheets and blankets. Food for thought...some furniture stores regularly have damaged goods sales to get rid of scratched items.

Rather than let the chance go to waste, purchasing a bed or couch at reduced price and having it dropped off at a local service provider offers a complete tax write off. If you're going to donate over $200.00 a year, why not make it count?

Beats having to track all those shirts people try to get written off from Grandpa's funeral.
