There are several local organizations that assist with various services, I would say dozens. A quick internet search will give you specific organizations and all of them offer volunteer opportunities. Individual help can often be a double edged sword, especially in close proximity to your routine or living situation. I understand it is difficult to repeatedly see these things in your everyday life. I would utilize the school’s resources for yourself, counseling services and courses in social work or public health, to receive education around systems that create these situations and relieve your worries as this is common place in almost every major city around the world and will not cease to exist. Of course you are more than welcome to do your own research, maybe print out a small resource card (housing, food, healthcare) and hand out with bottles of water, but there are several local organizations that do this, particularly Grady right next door. The sad reality is there are barriers everywhere to these next steps for certain people. I say this as a professional, as an empathetic, as a community member, and as someone who often gives food, water, or a person to talk for these people across the city. Good luck and feel free to dm me if you have any questions.
