You don't need money to help people. Sometimes a simple smile can help people get through the day. Not just material.
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.
People can be helped without money by having someone who listens to them. Truly understand them and make them feel appreciated.

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.

You can provide emotional support, provide basic essentials like blankets and food, talk to them and help them form a plan to get better.
By being there for them when they need someone during a hard time. Such as stress or anxiety. Or even depression.

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

Giving them all of your support to them :) Well, the least you can do.
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.
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.

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!
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.

Have some sort of sale to raise money for them. For example something like a bake sale maybe. That would help them.
Bye showing them that they can hope for help even from random strangers, which means that life does not suck that much after all.
Helping people doesn't have to require money. Being here to listen and give support over powers the most.
Be kind to them. Help them when they need emotional support, or if it's material things you'd be helping with, perhaps give them some of your old things that you don't want or use. Be a good friend no matter what, which I'm sure you're doing!
I think it's really great that you want to get out and help people! And, you can definitely help people without having to spend money! Maybe you could try volunteering somewhere local that supports a cause you care about. You can ask around at local non-profits and see if they have any ways you could volunteer there. Most organizations wouldn't turn down offers to help out! :) again, I think it's so wonderful that you want to help people. I wish there were more people out there with your thoughtfulness.

You can volunteer at homeless shelters and such, you can even just talk to someone who has no money, theyll appreciate it
You can help people without money. You can give them emotional support and help them get through their troubles.
You can help people without money by being there for them. It is slightly more difficult, but it is generally more satisfying as well. Often people appreciate simple caring remarks and gestures, snd simply talking to someone can be a huge help to them provided tbat you do si kindly. Money can not buy everything, and this is particularly true in the case of human being's hearts, where a caring other person can buy it over often quite easily. In short, simply do what you can to show your support.
Be their friend :) Help them when they need it, but try not to make them feel bad for always taking things from you.
Money is not the only medium of support. Think of us listeners, we're not having any kind of monetary exchange here, We're here solely to help people, provide comfort, lend an eager ear to a fellow human's troubles. Money is just a medium of exchange, it does play a crucial role but then, it cannot buy happiness or love.
Often giving someone your time can be extremely helpful. People may need to be simply heard or help in another way.
You can donate to charities that help support the people who need the help. It's the best way to help them
