How to start a new branch of Happy Helpers for the Homeless<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Find sources to regularly obtain the items to make the lunches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Locate a site to hold the lunch-making sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Research how many lunches are needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Determine where the distributions will take place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Determine the day and time the food is most needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Decide what age group will make up your \u201cHappy Helpers.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Recruit volunteers through newspapers, schools, groups, and by posting fliers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Plan out a lunch-making process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Plan out transportation requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Always practice safe food handling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Collect toiletries, blankets and clothing for distribution, also.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Always send a thank-you note to those who have helped.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Have an awards program for the volunteers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. Use a sign-in sheet to record volunteer hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. It is extremely important that you are able to refer the people to other help they may need, such as medical care and job training.  You will need to research this information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. Be advocates for the homeless.  Notify the media to bring attention to the plight of the homeless.  One person can make a difference!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  17. Hold extra special events for the people, such as parties, or a day of providing services such as dental care and haircuts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  18. The main emphasis of \u201cHappy Helpers\u201d is on giving the people MUCH GENUINE CARE!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
