I spoke to my colleague and friend Peter Wyatt who has experience in dealing with the homeless. I asked him...
“Is it kind to give the homeless food when you see them?”
He explained the intention is good, but it saves them using what money they do get on food, so they invariably are able to spend it on alcohol or drugs instead. It’s best to give to the charities and shelters directly.
Of course, if you have the time, they could so greatly be helped with simply a listening ear and no judgement.
