broken heaters and warm hearts

It's really cold out these days.
I really worry about the homeless when the weather's like this.
Currently, the heater's broken at my house, and I feel the agony of having to sleep in the cold. I know, what I experienced in the one night is nothing compared to these people. But this is where we step up to change the world. Regardless of how they got there, we should lend a helping hand in times like this.

Let's make this frigid season a little bit warmer.

I urge each one of you who reads this: each time you see a homeless person on the street, ask if they would like a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate. If you're more well off than me (a broke university student), I implore you to, perhaps, purchase a small meal for them. A sandwich, a bowl of chili, a small wrap, anything.
Best to choose foods with lots of fat and carbohydrates with minimal processing. They should also have plenty of water. All these will help anyone stay warm this season.
Short of wearing more clothing, starting a fire or staying indoors (with climate control... ahem broken heaters -_-), food is the best way to stay warm.
