If I were doing this assignment, I'd go to: http://www.encore-editions.com/victorianart.htm.
Look through the art. You'll get a good idea of the type of art of the Victorian Era and there will be religious pictures in the group.
Don't get distracted by where the picture may have hung. You'll know by looking at them if someone might have put it in his or her bedroom... or more importantly, in their children's bedrooms.
The Victorian Era changed the way we thought about children. It started the idea that childhood was innocent and children should be protected from the harsh realities of life. It's quite fascinating in the context of social attitudes. Up until this time, the European tradition viewed children as wild little hellions that must be subdued. It was not uncommon for street children to receive death sentences for theft or other petty crimes. If you have read, "A Modest Proposal," (http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html,) for which it's author was imprisioned, you know that this was written as a satire to point out how badly children were treated and what a sad plight they had. It might be said that this was the era that gave us our modern ideas about 'social reform,'
From: http://www.erasofelegance.com/history/victorianarts.html
"The Victorian era corresponds with the reign of Queen Victoria in England from 1839 to 1901. The period is beloved for its attention to high morals, modesty and proper decorum, as inspired by the Queen and her husband, Prince Albert. The Victorian era was also an optimistic time in which scientific and industrial invention thrived. Developments in printing produced a proliferation of Victorian scrap art, cards, and magazines. The importance placed on civic conscience and social responsibility engendered notable developments toward gender and racial equality, such as the legal abolishment of slavery in America. In addition, humanitarian and religious organizations such as the Salvation Army reflected the Victorian concern for the poor and needy of the period. "
You might read through this description of a Victorian Art show at BYU :http://moa.byu.edu/fileadmin/moa/user_files/00TRANSFER/Exhibits/Press_Releases/victorian_release.pdf It gives some insights.
I hope this is helpful.

What should I give to the homeless people on the street on a hot day?
Hope
It's really just an act of kindness I doing. I'm 14 and really want to help these people. It really broke my heart when I was in Philly just last weekend and saw a vet on the street, in the rain and looking pretty sad. It's so depressing how so many people are losing their jobs left and right. I can relate to the situation since my family almost had to move because my dad got laid off, so I feel for them. So, I decided I was going to save up around $50 and buy anyone I see on the streets that are just sitting there something. I was thinking of buying them coffee, but who wants hot coffee on a hot day? Is there anything I can buy that I could buy a lot of in $50 that's food or a drink on a hot day? What do you guys think? By the way, I would be walking around with my parents. Thanks!

Food banks often can buy $4 worth of food for each $1 donation by using their trucks to pick up donations from supermarkets or to make exchanges with other cities. Any sizable town or city will also have daily meals served to the needy, perhaps by the Salvation Army or Catholic Services or a local Jewish organization. Some even have places to go for showers or to use as addresses when job hunting. There are veterans services as well.
Besides boxes of food given to those in need, our food bank also goes to several neighborhood locations in the summer & serves daily noon picnic style meals to those children who ordinarily would be receiving free school lunches at noon during the school year. Note that many who can't afford to buy enough food are families with two working adults in each family but live in areas of very high rent just for small 1 or 2-bedroom apartments. Of course, the food banks also hand out information on food stamps & cards from the federal & state governments & offer help filling out the forms, so it won't be on the food banks to solve the problem.
My choice would be to give to the local food bank (as I generally do each year) & possibly to one of the organizations serving meals. Some people also donate leftover cake or pastries after an event or party to add to the meals. We did that when we bought a sheet cake for an organization's Summer Solstice party & had half of it left over. Doesn't have to be enough to serve everybody who eats there because they'll typically receive similar donations, especially after weekend weddings, & can slice the cake or pastries & set it out with the other donations. Some grocery stores & bakeries may add their day-old bread & desserts, too. Some of these stores donate these things to low-income senior housing & to senior centers, where they may set out boxes of fresh fruit for seniors to take home, too. Unopened boxes of peppermint tea would be good, too, for summer.
Some people intentionally plant extra in their summer gardens, so they'll have extra fruit & veggies to give away. Sometimes it's a junior high or high school student who has the idea, & then the whole family decides to get involved in working on the project. This has become quite common in our area, & there also a few community gardens for those lacking backyards for growing things.
You might also want to volunteer once a week for a food bank, doing such things as boxing food or handing out the boxes. You might want to get cards or flyers or a whole list of available services & hand out the info card or flyer. Chances are, though, the people on the street already know about these services from their buddies & are wanting cash. Personally, I never give to them & only give to the organizations providing services. However, it's up to you & what you choose to do. It's something that each of us will decide many times over our lifetimes.
Since you've already seen your own family in a crisis situation, it might be better to save your money for school supplies & clothes next fall & give just 10% to one of the organizations or to a church if you belong to one. At the same time, as I read your words of compassion, I think that you would be just perfect for one of those volunteer situations with something very concrete for you to do. Maybe there would be a half day on Saturdays or another day when you & one of your parents might arrange to volunteer this summer.
You might also consider organizing book drives for both new & barely used children's books. Sometimes the food bank will give a free book to every child coming to the food bank with the parents on a certain day, while supplies last. Also, some low income medical clinics give a free book to each child who has an appointment there. You could call around & find out who does what in your area in case a particular project appeals to you. Look online or in your phone book for a Volunteer Center that matches people with specific projects & can tell you about food banks & soup kitchens.
You could find out if some of the "soup kitchens" also have boxes of clothing to give to the needy & you could sort through your own clothes to give away those that you've outgrown. If they don't do that, take your giveaway bags to one of the other charities like Goodwill or Salvation Army. Summer, when you're out of school, is the perfect time for these sorting projects, & your parents will adore you for cleaning your room & closet. Generally, the proceeds from selling your used clothing at a thrift shop will go to help the needy, so this is an equally worthy donation.
