Dallas' anti-panhandling plan turning parking meters into charity drops | Dallas Morning News | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas-Fort Worth News | Dallas Morning News: "City government and civic leaders on Wednesday will call on people to quit giving money to downtown panhandlers and instead donate to charities that help homeless Dallasites.

Dallas City Hall, the DowntownDallas association and the Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance are sponsoring the effort, dubbed 'Lend a Hand,' which will in part involve a public awareness campaign coupled with the conversion of old parking meters into donation recepticles, city officials say."
