aimed at tackling panhandlers. Thousands of dollars have been donated, but the Central Alabama Community Foundation says they need more nonprofits to apply for the grant money to help these individuals.
“People can give it to us, then we will give it out, in the form of grants, to nonprofits that are able to reach out and serve those individuals,” said CACF President Burton Crenshaw. Crenshaw also says they’ve recognized that some residents are hesitant to donate, but they assure that this money is going into the right hands.
City leaders say panhandling has become increasingly dangerous as individuals place themselves in high-traffic roadways and intersections. Some have been seriously injured or killed. They say every dollar donated will go towards getting them the proper help they need.
