    Luckymom, how old is your chid? There are lots of ways to help, sponsor a family(we have done this through the Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association), hold a food drive, distribute or collect warm blankets, hats and gloves. In California I worked with a group where we made up care sacks for a men's shelter and it included some simple things like a new toothbrush, tooth paste, shaving materials, comb, new underwear, socks and undershirts.
