i always give when i can...and what they do with the money is there choice but i leave there knowing I tried. I could care less what they use it for but like to think the ones I give to use it appropriately. When i lived in Galveston the bums were everywhere and this built a tolerance level in me and i woulda been broke in a week had i handed over change to every bum.
Just the other day on the corner of highway 14 exit ramp had a fella with a sign that said hungry and need food....nothing about money etc. I had a few cans of vienna sausage in my truck from a previous fishing trip and asked if that would suit him...his reply was...."HELL Yeah man....I'm freaking hungry" and smiled when i handed him over the food. I was actually impressed!
