The fastest-growing kind of homelessness sleeps in a Corolla, and gas is what keeps the car — the home — moving between safe lots, work, and school pickup. You’ll know the moment when you see it. Be ready for it.
Keep a Gas Card in the Glovebox
Buy one $25 gas card and keep it in your glovebox for the person you meet who's living out of their car.
What you'll need
- A $25 gas card from a station that's everywhere in your town
Pitfalls
- Give it without a sermon. "This is for you" is a complete sentence.
- A parked family at a rest stop or church lot may not want attention drawn. Be quick and quiet.
- Replace it the same week you give it away, or you'll never carry one again.
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. — Galatians 6:2
