But this whole concept seems wasteful of resources. Wouldn't it be easier to find needy but reliable homeless people to do this for $75 instead of hiring people who need the money less then the homeless? I applaud Patty O. for giving the money to homeless orgs but either get free volunteers to do this or hire indigents. This isn't rocket science.
