How to Help the Homeless

54 Ways You Can Help the Homeless by Rabbi Charles A. Kroloff. (Hugh Lauter Levin Associates/Macmillan: $1.95.) Here is a simple, beautifully organized little guide to helping the homeless. The suggestions range from invaluable reminders such as No. 5: “Respond With Kindness” to others you might not have thought of; No. 25: “Take Homeless Children on Trips,” or No. 31: “Publish Shelter Information.” The book is long on ideas and short on polemics, and at $1.95, buying it in bulk for friends and groups might not be a bad idea. Publisher’s profits are donated to homeless relief organizations. Send special orders to Hugh Lauter Levin Associates, 2507 Post Road, Southport, Conn., 06490.
