Parking Meters Collect Donations For Homeless. Two parking meters installed in downtown Annapolis to collect spare change for the homeless have collected nearly $2,000. Data released last week shows the meters have collected $1,905 since they were installed three years ago on West and Randall streets.Mayor Josh Cohen said the meters are an easy way for people to help others in need, and that the money supports the Light House shelter. However, Bevin Buchheister, president of the Ward One Residents Association, called the meters “visual clutter” and wants them removed. He said they only bring in an average of $60 a month, which the city could raise with a single event.
