It's good to hear some people really care. :thumbsup:

A few months ago when I was still in Alberta, I went to BBQ, a big BBQ and there were tons of leftover corn, smokies/hot dogs and buns, so I gladly took them to a homeless shelter and handed them out. The people were so grateful and friendly that it makes one feel really good about themselves.

I agree to what fasterspider has said, give them a classified ad and move along, but when it is -20degC outside, with no roof for these people, and no food, I can't just ignore that and let another person suffer. Hell, I get sad when I see a stray animal shivering and going through garbage, so to help that animal, I have bought beef jerkey for them, wrapped them in my coat, and fed them. It's what humans do for one another.

There is just too much suffering in the world as it is, and spedning $5, $10 to help another person is the right thing to do. I give them food, NEVER any money though. I gnore the junkies begging for change, but for someone asking for food, I'll be more than glad to help.
