I Care About Homeless People

Today a homeless guy came in. He stops couple times a week for 5 minutes. We talked. I asked if he’d eaten. No. I gave him ten dollars. When he got to the door he had tears in his eyes. 20 minutes latter he’s back and gives me 4.23 in change. I told him to keep it. No way. I feel so good

I won't give them money. Many really struggle with addictions to alcohol or drugs.
Instead my wife and I take them out to eat.
We get to know them, then let them do their laundry at our house, use our address for mail and job apps, spend the night when it is too cold or hot or rainy or what ever
I don't suggest you do that if you live alone, but we usually have a house full of family and friends and neighbors and the like so we are safe.
