Interesting article in the Banner-Herald about homelessness

In Sunday's Athens Banner-Herald was an interesting article about homelessness in our community (http://onlineathens.com/local-news/2016-11-26/choice-or-crisis-stories-behind-homelessness-athens#).

The article mentions several opinions on panhandlers. Ken Sherman, interim director of Bigger Vision (but not IHNA's former Executive Director), advises to "never give to the homeless, because you don't know where the money is going." Evan Mills with Advantage Behavioral Health Systems suggests "The person that you think is homeless may not be homeless."

I would suggest on this Giving Tuesday that when your heart is touched by seeing homelessness that you support one of the many homeless organization in our community. You can make a gift today to IHNA at: http://www.ihnathens.org/donate-now.html

Today is Giving Tuesday!

All indications are that Black Friday and Cyber Monday hit records. We hope the same is true for Giving Tuesday!

To make a difference in the lives of homeless children and their families, make a gift to IHNA today.

We are very grateful!

TED Radio Hour about Giving

Last night I listened to the TED Radio Hour and it was about giving. I recommend this show highly and would love to hear your thoughts on any of these segments. They provide some thought provoking material for giving and nonprofits.
