After talking with another Bluelighter, I thought this might be a decent thread idea. Maybe we could all post links for the various soup kitchens, clothing giveaways, shelters, etc. for our various cities.
Many of us have been in tight spots and certainly most of us know someone who may be in need so lets post some info. As people contribute I will organize by location and service so it will be more useful navigation-wise for a different kind of 'quick fix'.
