Give Wisely This Holiday SeasonDonating directly to unhoused solicitors on the road may contribute to the cycle of homelessness. Instead, volunteer at a local charity or donate to agencies providing resources to the unsheltered this holiday season. The City offers staff and resources to connect unhoused individuals with assistance, including transportation to shelters, support agencies and willing family or friends.

Holiday Food Waste Disposal TipsThis holiday season, avoid attracting pests and paying for expensive plumbing repairs by properly disposing of food waste. Put trash out the day of your trash collection instead of letting it sit out. Consider freezing your food waste until collection day. Also, scrape cooled grease or fat into the trash, or pour it into a closed-lid container and throw away. Learn more at www.cityofmesquite.com/FOG.
