I typically don't. It's not from a place of heartlessness, but it's something else. We have panhandlers and those as you walk out of a store...do you have any change, do you have any change. Some will walk to close to the car at an intersection. Had one woman walk up to me asking for money, but she's pregnant she said but she's hungry she said so I walked her into the store that I came out of and let her pick out food then I heard her story of losing to the state several other of her kids and she only wanted junk food. I pointed out healthier choices but she wasn't having it. I was on food stamps at the time...I didn't feel swindled per se but...yeah...

To add another story. Once saw one of the panhandlers at a different store a couple of towns over. And yeah...a little shoplifting ring of them.

I'm all set. I have helped in other ways with food rescues or giving trees during holidays and those ways.
