"Handouts don’t help panhandlers."
Instead of giving cash to panhandlers, support local nonprofits providing food, shelter and job training to those who need it most. Even small contributions make a big difference.
If 10,000 people gave just $10 a month, we could raise over $1 million a year to create lasting change. Find trusted organizations and more ways to help at pwcva.gov/panhandling.
Give where it counts.

"Handouts don’t help. Want to make a real difference for panhandlers?"
Donating to local nonprofits, rather than giving directly, helps provide essential services like shelter, food and job training. These organizations are part of the Prince William Area Continuum of Care, a network dedicated to ending homelessness through sustainable solutions.
Small donations add up. Give where it counts.

"When you see someone in need, it’s natural to want to help right away. However, handouts don’t help."
Consider making a lasting impact by supporting local nonprofits that provide shelter, food and job training to those in need. Your donations are more effective when directed to organizations that offer critical services to panhandlers and others in need.
