re: Caught on Tape: Homeless Man Given $100, Heads Straight to Liquor Store

I don't give money either. Instead, I keep a few old coats, jackets, shirts, etc. in the back of my SUV and see if they need or will use any of the clothing. I usually end up giving them to the folks standing at the interstate exit ramps or at intersections holding signs. Sometimes, I'll buy a box of honey buns or something like that and hand them a couple too. Don't do money unless I know the person or are familiar with their circumstance.
