I usually keep walking but decided to help. He looked really tired so I offered to buy him dinner. I'm thinking chips and a drink, and initially that's what he picks out. But then he grabs another two big bags of chips, a gallon of milk, lots of candy, soups, probably bags of food.

I grew up in Southern California, my family was never starving, but certainly not rich. We ate cheap ass meals every night (always got our canned veggies though), rarely got to go out to eat, and certainly never ate anything fancy. Yet, my mom would buy a homeless person/group of people a meal from fast food restaurants every time they asked.

metadaemon. •. If a "homeless" is begging from individuals, you can rest assured it's a scam, and you're either the mark or a distraction. Just walk away. Any homeless or hungry person can get 3 meals a day at any number of shelters, kitchens, or mission all over the city no questions asked. They all know where to go.

The short answer is No, the long answer is yes. It unquestionably is an individual choice whether they would like to offer monetary aid to the homeless. There is a widespread misconception that homeless people spend money on alcohol and drugs which is only partly true. Some desperately need it for medications or psychiatric help.

Hello friends. This is a short story about the day I stopped giving homeless people food and money. Don't get me wrong- I still help out but only in other ways (ie. I donate to food shelters, sometimes I go into kitchens and cook). This is a story about a CB I dealt with a few years ago, the completely turned me off from helping for a while.

I wouldn't offer food to the homeless, as I have been homeless and know that as a homeless person, you've lost trust in everyone, everything and even a little bit yourself. I think you're trying to shame that homeless people want money. You know what, when I was homeless I didn't have access to food consistently, like most homeless people.
