Only if they come up with an entertaining reason why the need it.

I always have food. Then one of them threw the sandwich and orange I gave him, at me. He said he didn't want an orange.
I've been recently buying a homeless person near my house a sandwich, just when I go into the supermarket not like everyday - it's all he wants anyway it seems.

Usually not, occasionally I have. The last time I gave some spare change to a homeless girl, she invited me to have a beer with her, but I declined.

They pretend to be poor, but they always have a pack of smokes.

@UltraViolet: and an apartment to go home to in some cases

@crabbyhermit: Yes. There's an Indian guy like that who lives next to the grocery store where he begs. He always looks around before he scoots home to pee or have a bite.

I hate ppl like that. 🤦‍♂️

No. I might buy them a sandwich or something but not money. I do give them a business card where they can get a job if they just show up.

On occasion. I'd be better off just telling them do you want me to just buy you some alcohol at the liquor store?
Flenflyys · 31-35, F
Never ever. There are organizations that confront the homelessness issue much better than handing money to someone who is likely mentally ill and clearly can't care for themselves.
Flenflyys · 31-35, F
Most homeless people flock to urban centres for that very reason so yea that's a safe assumption.

You are lucky that someone cared. That's not the norm for victims of homelessness.
yes, i do. especially if i know they're homeless, sometimes take them to eat too.

When I have cash, yes. They need it a lot more than I do.

I've given food but not money.

I have bought meals and given it to them but no money.
Sicarium · 46-50, M
Nope. Around here it's mostly a scam. You'll see "homeless" walking off and getting into brand new cars.

I used to. In this neighborhood they have drug and alcohol and mental problems. You're not really helping them by giving them money.
