Have you ever given a homeless person food?

Question

I haven't lol

TheRealPepperPotts · Accepted Answer

Yes, many times. I've also allowed them a space to park in a campground when I was host to keep them off the road until they were sober. I've begged them to stay sometimes, they were so high or drunk. I've talked with them, listened to them, and hugged them. I've cleaned up their bathroom messes.

Here's the deal with homeless people: there is a way to work with them. I've never had an issue with a homeless person, because I have always treated them with respect. We don't know why they are where they are at and all the reasons. Usually life has beaten them up so badly that they gave up trying. I have dealt with many on a regular basis for years, and when I tell them the rules, they honor them because they know me.

Things happen. It could be any one of us, under the right circumstances.

Great, humble question! I’ve done a few years of community service in my early 20s serving refreshments to homeless families. I also created my own care packages for the increase of homeless population during the pandemic. I still offer to give my own food away after I leave a restaurant with left over or to go food whenever I see homeless individuals, or I see they’re hungry. I’ve bought blankets for them during this past Winter when I saw one freezing out and asked for warmth. Etc. There’s always more we can do for them that they may need. I also like to refer them as our friendly neighbors instead of “homeless” since they’re just like us but who needs a little extra support.

Food, money, cigarettes, phone calls. That being said, the best offering I have ever made is my time and my consideration, even for 5mn. It's not me saying it, it's me hearing the satisfaction of someone in front of me.

Food is not rare in the streets, consideration is EXTREMELY rare.

Yep. More than once. One homeless lady even refused the food I offered her and said she wasn't homeless (she had mental issues). I still help them when I can.

So here I am on Girls Ask Guys, sharing bits about my love for flavors and answering life’s quirky questions. Funny enough, given my passion for food, I've crossed paths with situations like this quite a bit. Absolutely, I've handed out food to homeless folks before, and it's become kind of my thing. I remember one time after dining at this amazing Japanese place, I had some leftovers (rare for me, I know 🍣). Saw a guy who looked like he could use a good meal, so I handed it to him. The smile on his face? Priceless. I guess it’s all about sharing the love for food, right? Sharing is caring, especially when it comes to good eats.

Yeah I gave a homeless guy some of my groceries when I was coming out of the store. He wasn't begging or anything like that. It was cold out and I figured he was probably hungry

Why is there a picture of a guy on a skateboard?

I usually order 2 of whatever takeout I'm getting so there are leftovers at home for me or whoever might want them, sometimes I'll give the second order to a homeless person if I see one.

Yes, I have when I've had the opportunity, but it depends on the situation. I always try to help when I can, whether it's food, money, or just a kind gesture.

BobbieBoy666 · Answer

I could care less about the homeless. It's not my job to make sure their eating right. Or a place to live. 🚫I won't even give them money. 🚫

I am Heartless when it comes to homeless people. 💯🚫

SweetJoyGirl · Answer

Yes, I have. I find it to be a rather kind gesture.

AviatorTom · Answer

No. Once, I offered to take a homeless person to a nearby McDonalds for some food, but he only wanted money. I declined, since he would probably use the money for alcohol or drugs.

Jersey2 · Answer

Food, sports drinks, money, cooking items, inflatable mattresses, and dog food as some have dogs. The last one I just gave a $50 bill to as we were leaving a restaurant (he wasn’t begging).

GOLDFISH_smile · Answer

zagor · Answer

I don't know if he was homeless but as I was going into a fast food place one time a guy asked me for some $ for food so I bought him lunch.

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah. As a matter of fact I keep a bag of canned goods in my car at all times. And whenever I see a homeless person I throw it at them and try to bean them with it.

Quidthonian · Answer

That depends on the person. If they are sober, fairly clean then yes.
