Look around you. When you go shopping, or out to eat, talk to the help. Many of those people could use some help and probably are living on less income then the welfare recipients. They don't ever get the donations. And you know they're working. Leave a large tip, give them a gas card or grocery card or find out what they need or their kids want and surprise them with it. They will appreciate your gift and they won't feel entitled to it. Find a way to give your gift anonymously if you prefer.

And you thought of this without the almighty government intrusion!!! What a novel idea!!!
This is where I feel most of our donations should ACTUALLY go. People who are trying their best to help themselves need help.
Thank you for stating this. If people are working hard, yet are not earning a lot, especially in this horrid economy, they will truly appreciate the gifts and feel encouraged to continue doing the right thing.
