Best Change Agent helps the homeless
Posted by Marc | 12-04-2008 22:07 | Category: Homelessness, PovertyThese parking meters are used for fundraising for the homeless in Denver USA. Agency rabble+rouser developed the Campaign to End Homelessness over a year ago, and designed these meters as way for the Campaign to increase grassroots awareness throughout the city of Denver. Today, the Donation Meter Program is still running strong, and is projected to raise around a million dollars for Denver’s Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness which is called Denver’s Road Home.
“The donation meter demonstrates yet another innovative way in which this community is responding to Denver’s Road Home and our commitment to ending homelessness” says Mayor Hickenlooper in the video at the end of this post.
The idea is simple: Drop your spare change into the refurbished parking meters. The cities redirect the money to initiatives that provide meals, job training, substance abuse counseling, housing, and other programs for those in need.
Thanks Lee for sending.
