The Gift Card Project is an organization created to help the homeless in a practical way while also reminding them of their own dignity.
Want to help the homeless? The Gift Card Project is an idea, movement and national effort meant to encourage others to bring together the homeless and those who help them. The Gift Card Project goes like this: Each day carry with you $5 gift cards to fast-food restaurants and be on the lookout for the homeless. The challenge of The Gift Card Project is to have a genuine conversation with the person you are helping. The Gift Card Project helps the homeless in a practical way while also reminding them of their own dignity, which is not depleted because of their current state. Pivoting out of poverty first requires a person to believe in that dignity. That is the real goal of The Gift Card Project.

Something worth remembering the next time you encounter someone experiencing homelessness: You probably know very little about the circumstances that brought them there.
They have a family, a history, interests, opinions and experiences that go well beyond what you can see from a passing encounter.
One of the reasons I started The Gift Card Project was to encourage people to look beyond someone's circumstances and actually get to know the person.
A gift card is a practical way to help, but it can also be an opportunity to introduce yourself, ask someone's name and have a conversation.
You might be surprised by what you learn.

Here's a small challenge for this week.
Next time you're grabbing coffee or lunch, pick up an extra $10 gift card and keep it in your wallet.
When you encounter someone experiencing homelessness, you'll have something you can offer them. And if they're open to it, introduce yourself and spend a few minutes getting to know them.
That's really how The Gift Card Project works. It doesn't require a big commitment or a lot of money. Just a little preparation and a willingness to engage with someone you might otherwise have walked past.
Give it a try this week.
