HOMELESS: But thankless, too?

In response to a letter from Jan Pollard regarding Homeless. We were at the Golden Corral for dinner. There was a guy sitting outside, looking poor and hungry. Didn’t want to give him money that he could go use for alcohol. So, when inside, my husband purchased a gift card for the price of a meal and drink. Took it out and gave it to him. When we went out later he was trying to sell it to patrons entering the store. He really appreciated our generosity! Another day outside of Albertsons, a lady brought out a nice bag of fruit and tried to give it to a guy holding a “help me” sign. Instead of a thank you, he shouted, “What do you think I am, a @#$%$ vegetarian?” I WILL NOT give them money either.
