I tend to overthink things, so I also thought about how many of us throw our donations at the less fortunate as if it would take too much time to get a little closer. Thanks for sharing this.J.L.

Being a grumpy bulldog, I don't care what their sign says or what story they give me. I'll give to a food bank, but I'm not giving money away to random people who will probably use it for booze. At least if I give it to Gleaners or Salvation Army I can be reasonably sure some of it will go to doing good.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-6501818565919023492011-11-16T19:00:33.856-07:002011-11-16T19:00:33.856-07:00Great video.

Of the 4: 1 has no teeth, 2 say they are veterans on their signs, 2 days they were hit by drunk drivers, one is missing teeth, 1 is a female, and 1 (ironically) wears a Harvard sweatshirt. <br /><br />There are homeless people who sell newspapers to raise $ for the homeless. It's called "Spare Change". I always buy it. But I rarely give change. It bothers me to roll down my window. And I don't want them to use it for booze or drugs. But because I see them everyday, I know they have relationships with each other. They're not faceless to me. I think about making sandwiches and giving it to them, but I'm not sure how it would be received and how often I should do it. Is my best way to help by giving to local organizations that provide homeless outreach?Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-1754545925997176812011-11-16T16:14:41.299-07:002011-11-16T16:14:41.299-07:00Same message, but her words reached the heart of o...Same message, but her words reached the heart of others.Alex J.
