I did a project in school last week about the Declaration of Human Rights, and I wrote an essay on Article 25, “Food and Shelter for All.” I chose this because I don’t like seeing people suffering on the streets every day.
I had to look up organizations helping provide for this right. So I looked around and found Bean’s Cafe, which helps with food for the homeless. I was looking around on their website and found that you can link your Fred Meyer Rewards card to Bean’s Cafe, so you get all your stuff and Bean’s Cafe gets money to pay for food for hungry people. It doesn’t even waste money. Win-win! Thank you for listening to my idea on helping this homeless problem.
