Not referring to the scam artists at the expressway ramps that have a different sign every day. But a legit homeless person in desperate need.

I have helped to get a couple of homeless people some work once.
I have gave food to some that were really starving and got them to a place to get help.
I have also donated to homeless charities that give coats shoes and other clothing to families in need.
We are all brothers and sisters here in this country and world.
So we should all learn to help those who are unable to help themselves. It could just as easily be one of us if not all.

Yes, I had a student this past school year that lived in the homeless shelter and through the school counselor I bought the student clothes, shoes and a new backpack to name a few items.

Yes, I have let a homeless family whose house burnt down live in our house that was vacant for 8 weeks, no questions asked, I just sent them the keys. I have also packed lunches for homeless people and given them money.

yes i have. i have given several homeless people a place to live. I had known these people before they were homeless,and when they needed it I helped them.I have taken in people who I knew through mutual friends or family also.I don't give cash to any one but if you need a couple of weeks to work and save some money I will try to help.

I give them gloves, apples and sandwiches. I tried to help a lady who was riding the trains all night who was in one of my Sunday School classes, but she became way too familiar and come to find out she had a drug dependency... one of my friends Moms let her stay with her for a few months. All that did help in the long run. She's back on her feet (doing exceptionally well) and not using anymore. Bless her heart.

Yes, in my country there are many people sleeping on the sidewalk on the street, once a year I take some of them, food like sandwiches, just to make them happy at least once a year.There are about 15 people sleeping in the place I visit.

No the homeless get everything they need in a homeless shelter, if they are in the streets it's because they want to.
