I use to work in NYC and got hit up for money daily. Instead of judging them I did the old trust but verify deal.

I always asked them if they were hungry. 99% of the time they got mad and walked away.
One day had a guy nearly break down crying because I bought him a huge sandwich (enough for 2-3 meals) and a water.

Not long ago I was almost that guy and know what it is to struggle and be hungry; not inconvenienced but seriously hungry and not sure where I was going to sleep that night.
