BILLINGS - A campaign in Billings aims to help homeless people by making donations more accessible to them. There was a need for hats, gloves, some of those small items, and then we noticed people were starting to put them around trees and benches, stuff like that, Resource Outreach Coordinator for Billings Improvement District Kody Christensen-Linton said.
The Billings Improvement District has set up green boxes in the downtown area to help collect donations for homeless people. Staff with the campaign say there s about 1,200 at risk individuals just in the Billings area, and the items and money collected have a good chance of making a difference.
