Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper has campaigned a new program that puts old parking meters to use raising money for homeless services.
"The city of Denver has recycled old parking meters to help in the fight against homelessness.
The old parking meters have been placed at various locations in downtown, including Skyline Park, reports CBS station KCNC-TV.
The idea is to encourage people to put the money into the parking meters instead of giving to panhandlers. Money raised from the meters will go to organizations fighting homelessness."
"Officials unveiled 36 of the homeless meters on Monday.
The money will be used by several organizations to provide meals, job training, substance abuse counseling and housing to the homeless."
