I personally refuse to give them money...I dont want it used to by drugs or alcohol I dont think that would really help them.
But I have given food....and once on a hot day i was in the city for a school trip and this homeless guy was sitting next to the vending machine. ..I asked if he was thirsty and let him pick out a drink.
I make those stereotype assumptions too. Now? I just don't care. I have good intuitive sense, I think. I can sense who is aiming to take advantage and who might be genuinely in need. Ultimately, I don't care. I mean, I have the resources so, why not?
The homeless in your area seem a lot nicer than the ones in my neck of the woods. I can recall being cursed out or threatened on seven different occasions by different homeless people for giving them food instead of money.
It was lunch time after college ...at the time my mom worked at the college... we decided to have lunch together and have something from the venders that set up.
their food is so good...its restaurants that go and set up little places...im guessing cuz of the college .
And this really fat homeless man asked me for money as I walked by...I told him ...oh Im sorry I do not have enough....because I only had enough money on me for lunch.
and he started calling me names like selfish and bitch ...before he turned back to his friend to talk to him.
I was surprised because no one had been so rude before :(
I was pretty upset.
I told my mom I think he is well fed!
I am happy I was with her...he was so much taller then me and so big...his anger would have been far scarier if I had been by myself.
I gave money + food to a homeless guy. Is that normal?

Very nice for you to give the guy a drink. :-)

Im not sure who is on drugs or not.
But if they ask for things besides money and if I am able to I dont mind at all. :)
