I would give it to him....that's just how I am though

I remind them where the soup kitchens are... and the local shelter. However, in most cases I know them, so I tell them to go see their caseworkers.

i give it to them if i have it because i will just blow it on junk anyway. and people say to me they will just buy booze with it and i always tell them i don't care what they do with it. just so they have more fun with it than i would have.

I usually don't like strangers coming up to me...especially if they ask me for money. I would think they would look down my wallet, see my money, grab it and run. But, I am kind so I may pull out a little something in exchange that someone would be kind to me if I was in that situation. Sad.

I ask him what for....
And if it is food, buy him food... and also offer shelter, or referral to shelter. |

Not to sound overly harsh, but most people are homeless because they choose to be.
It's not always that simple, but if they chose drugs and/or alcohol over all else, then that is what they choose. |
