Behind the hysteria that has overtaken the streets of Chicago—the screaming, and the costumes, and the Die-Ins, and the messy hand-written signs—lies one message. As always, we like to keep it simple.

Day 124: Passed Out Laminated Signs to the Homeless
by Ryan Garcia | May 3, 2012
Around the time I started doing my random acts, I began to notice homeless people around the city with laminated signs that read “Homeless” “Please Help” or “Veteran.” One day, about 3 weeks ago, I asked one of the homeless people where they received the sign, and they said that a man was going around the city and passing out these signs so that people would notice the homeless rather than pass by as though they are invisible. After doing some research, I found the man responsible for the tremendous act of kindness. His name is Christopher Devine, and he is the founder of Homeless Signs. Christopher started this project with a couple of his friends in an effort to bring about more consciousness to the homeless around the Chicagoland area. Rather than have people continuously pass by the homeless with ragged and torn cardboard signs, he gave them a vehicle with which to gain the attention of passersby. I asked Christopher if I could join him on one of his days where he passed out the signs and he happily obliged. So today, for my random act of kindness, I am going to join Christopher in passing out laminated signs to the homeless. Homelessness does not equal a lack of humanity, so please, if you are passing by someone, try to make eye contact or at least acknowledge that they are there.
Veteran.

Following a series of requests from homeless veterans, Homeless Signs has added a third sign to our repertoire. The production of the Veteran signs was made possible thanks to a generous donation from Mark Borough of Printing Plus of Roselle. More photos to come. Stay tuned.
