I occasionally try to give them food. I never give a homeless person money because at the end of the day I don't know where that's going and I could be contributing to a drug habit for all I know.I never give the homeless anything, regardless how "official" it looks.
When you try to give them some food, they'll either accept and eat it or deny it. The latter has happened before in the big city but 99% of the time they're very appreciative. There's really only one or two homeless folks in a pretty wide radius around my area so if I'm doing some groceries in the nearby city and one of them is sitting by the grocery store I'll buy them a sandwich or something. From what I can tell they both appear to be refugees. One of them has maybe 2 teeth left and appears to speak some kind of Arabic language, the other speaks broken Dutch but looks middle-eastern as well.
