10/24/2021 1 Comment More & More strugglesLately, we have been struggling with understanding the meaning of why we are doing this, our overall goal, and how exactly we will be going about this in terms of giving our care packages on the streets, feeding the homeless at a shelter, or attending a coat/clothing drive and possibly collecting cans. As you can see, we have many options relating to how we could carry out the purpose of this project, yet, we feel as though we have gotten nowhere in the past two weeks which is the frustrating aspect of this.
Regarding the homeless shelters, we have reached out to about three and have gotten no response. We have considered sending follow-up emails and we will most likely go through with that just in case they didn’t see our inquiries or something of the sort. We created those care packages to hand out but if we feed the homeless at the shelter we won’t need the packages, therefore we created them for what? We are ⅔ of the way complete with this project and still have not interacted with the homeless like we wanted to. The coat/clothing drive would be held this month at a church whose name we have forgotten but of course, we will figure that out before we attend if we decide to. It would not be a bad idea to participate in the drive but if we want to, we have to decide soon before we miss out on it. Then again, our care packages would be useless in this situation because we wouldn’t need them for the drive. This is also not what we had planned to do in the beginning but we have to be open to change if we want this to work. Maybe we are all just set on what we had planned from the beginning that we aren’t willing to take what is being given to us. In terms of the care packages themselves, the easiest way to incorporate them into the project would be to ride around and hand them out to the homeless that we see on the side of the road at stoplights, intersections, etc. If we want to volunteer at the shelter, we could give the packages out whenever we aren’t doing anything else, that way the care packages aren’t just some dead weight. I guess we could hand the care packages out in any of these cases within our free time. Collecting cans and donating them would also be an easy thing for us to do in our free time that would eventually add to the overall project.

I 100% think yall should still use the care packages and give the to the homeless or even the less fortunte. Even if you do decide to do something different. I think this will be very appreciated to these people and help them out. As for not knowing why you decided to do this for your project, maybe spend some time thinking over what pushed you to do this. Was it to actually help people? Was it to just get something down for a project? I really like yalls project and cant wait to see all yall accomplish.
