This is a neat idea: parking meters repurposed to collect change for the homeless. The program is now running in Orlando, FL, as well.

Donors drop coins into the meters, which are used only to collect contributions, not to regulate parking. City workers collect the change, which is given to the Central Florida Commission for Homelessness, a nonprofit group partly funded by the city.

The money will go to the commission's Ten2End initiative, which aims to end homelessness in Central Florida within the decade by helping people become self-sufficient.
