Do you want to help local homeless people?
How you interact with a homeless person can set them up for success or failure...


The Problem
Current solutions are not working...
What do people do when someone in need asks them for money or food?
Giving money can do more harm than good...
-
May encourage victim mentality
-
Allows for irresponsible habits
-
Not holistic
-
Temporary solution
-
Drives street economy

...and so does giving food (believe it or not!)...
-
Food is sometimes sold for money
-
May encourage victim mentality
-
Not holistic
-
Help is only temporary
Contact us for more info
... and ignoring people also doesn't help...
-
Ignoring someone can break down their self-image and make it difficult for them to overcome other challenges they might face

The Solution

Using the Cheese App, you will be able to set someone up for success
Our app allows you to pay for someone to receive help at a local non-profit
Step 1: Select an item
Select the item you would like to donate to the person in need

Capture the information of the person who will receive help. Remember to say "Say Cheese" if taking a photo
Step 2: Capture information
Step 3: Direct beneficiary
Direct the beneficiary to a local non-profit where they will be verified and receive help. A landmark is used to easily direct them.


A few reasons to give this way:
-
Directs people to non-profits who provide professional support and care
-
Data is captured enabling better and more holistic support
-
Non-profits get financial help for the work they do
-
It is easier for non-profits to work together as they share our database
-
Taking ownership is encouraged as person has to find the non-profit
-
Alcohol abuse is minimised as money is less available
