You don't need money to help people. Sometimes a simple smile can help people get through the day. Not just material.
Struggling with depression?

Donate anything you no longer need like kitchen items, books, clothes, furniture to Goodwill or an op-shop, donate books to your local library or give away on Craigslist, Gumtree or Freecycle. You will feel lighter and have more mental and physical space, and you will feel going good doing a nice deed.
Give blood. One unit of blood saves three lives.
Volunteer time at a homeless shelter, animal shelter, animal welfare groups, op shops, hospital, elderly home.
Listen to people. Deeply listen. And don’t just think of what you’re going to say when they’ve finished. And don’t worry about fixing their problems.

Kindness goes a long way! Just offer support, love, guidance. Even just the little things such as a compliment or helping someone if they look like they're struggling.

There are many ways to help people like being friendly and compassionate with them, listening to their stories and supporting them with comforting words, helping someone who is disabled or unable to do a certain task, lending a hand to the weak or the aged and many others.

Don't give money. Spare something of your food, or your drink. Or give them a blanket, a shawl anything. Kindness is more valuable than anything else.

Time is Money. You can help people by donating your time toward good causes. You can always volunteer for charities and non-profit organizations.

By being there for them when they need someone during a hard time. Such as stress or anxiety. Or even depression.

a lot of people say "give them money", but people need other things, if you can spend some time chat with poor people, you will see they are humans, they need to talk to, not just, eat, they need to laugh, they need love, so, lets share the love, if you have a nice meal with a poor people they will so thankfull.

Money is not always the answer to a problem. Many times what people need is support to get through whatever situation they are in. Never underestimate the power of being someone's shoulder to cry on and hand to hold!

There are a couple sites online that are free of charge that allow people to become members and volunteer to help others such as 7 cups of Tea and a couple others also. 7 cups of tea only has trained listeners who are capable and willing to be there for members/guests.

You can listen to their problem, help them physically with things they can't do themselves, pay them a visit when they're feeling down.

yes, the biggest help anyone can get is your time. Listening to them and make them feel good is biggest help anyone can give.

Donating food or necessities like clothes that you don't need anymore is useful. But you con also help with non-material things. Love and companionship are both very good ways to help.

Volunteering at your local animal shelter - or other places that accept volunteers - is a great way to help out your community without earning money.

Just making them smile or supporting them means a lot more than buying something. Nice words and being there for people is priceless.

Money is a need but not all problems are related to money. You can help people by motivating them, making them laugh when they don't want to & by making their day :)

You can see what their needs are like maybe clothes, food, etc. You can offer to take them somewhere if they don't drive.
