i was told by someone who worked for knox area rescue ministries to deny them both money and food, directing them to a shelter instead. i guess it's the "teach a man to fish" theory. either way, it works for me. i tell them "no" and give them directions to where they can find long-term help.

That's a good idea. I'll give that a try.

What about trying to carry small food things with you, granola bars or trail mix packs or something? Then you can just pull that out of your pocket right then and there and give it to them...What if that guy that you told you would buy food for thought that you had forgotten him? Who knows...Also, it is good to carry small food items with you anyway in case of your own emergency!
