    You must not be familiar with donations. One church in my area had 250 million meals donated.

    There are organizations that have paid staff who work with the homeless, yes. These dedicated professionals do not make huge salaries, and they often work long hours under a lot of stress. Literally you could say they "make a living off the homeless" but that is not a true reflection of what is happening.

    Many people generously give money or other donations to help churches and other organizations that help the poor and the homeless. Governments contribute also, but this is far from sufficient.

    Before you criticize the kindness and generosity of others, the so-called straw in one's eye, you should remove the beam that is in your own eye. What have YOU done lately to lessen the suffering of the poor?

    You mean missions that are helping feed and house the homeless? $20.00 is pretty cheap for a bed and a hot meal or two.

    You need to go back to school. For starters it's they not "thay". Then do some research on donations.
