Organizing a fixed patrol is a commendable initiative to help homeless people.
Here are some steps to guide you:
1- Build a team
Gather motivated volunteers or anyone who can help. Make sure your team is well trained to interact with homeless people in a respectful and empathetic manner. Apart from all that, find some men to provide security.
2- Choose a place and a time
Identify a location frequented by homeless people and set a regular schedule for your patrols. Patrols can be conducted during the day or night, but it is often easier to find homeless people in the evening.
3- Prepare the material
Bring food, coffee, tea, blankets, hygiene products, warm clothes, first aid kits, etc.
4- Coordination with other associations
Collaborate if you can with local associations such as in order to maximize the impact of your actions.
These few points will help you carry out your marauding in the best possible way.
