Homeless at Starbucks: Why the Coffee Chain is Bringing in Social Workers

2. Another place where homeless people hang out

is public libraries. One of the librarians at my local branch told me that in winter they come in to warm up and in summer to cool off on really hot days.

The library has set up boxes where people can contribute hats, scarves, and gloves that people who are homeless or who simply can't afford to buy them can help themselves from the box donations.

Local churches have been collecting toiletries and portable food to donate to a few of the "code blue" shelters in my area where homeless people can stay overnight when temperatures go below freezing.
