I am going to raise awareness for Red Bag by creating posters and putting them around the school or public places for people to see and donate to the organization in their own time.

There are over 6,000 homeless people in Kansas City alone.

More than a 1,000 of those homeless in Kansas City are teens.

Homeless people don't have a lot of options in where they can go to get their needs fulfilled.

In the entire U.S. on any night there are 643,067 homeless people sleeping on the streets.

238,110 of those people are families.

25% of all homeless people are homeless with or because of a mental illness.

Woman and children are the fastest growing homeless population.

8.33% of all homeless people are veterans.

47.6% of all homeless people are disable and unable to work.

Most people at risk for homelessness are those with low paying jobs or unemployed.

Red Bag helps provide an easy and more helpful alternative to helping the homeless instead of just giving them money.

You pay Red Bag $5 and they give you the bag with all of the items inside it and you can also put in more fresh items from you.

An unfortunate common cause and side effect of homelessness is addiction of some form. Handing cash to the homeless can feed addictions instead of helping our neighbors overcome them.

For this whole project I learned more about homeless people and I realized how hard their lives are. I learned how much more difficult daily life is for them and how much more homeless people there are in Kansas City alone. It was surprising because I didn't expect there to be so many homeless people in Kansas City. I also realized how much harder it would be to get my message across in just one poster. It needed to pop out and catch people's attention and be short enough that people would remember it which was harder than I thought it would be. It made me be more grateful for the things I have like food and shelter because so many people live without these basic necessities.
