Yes, I would. This country has a huge problem with homelessness, especially in the big cities. If I had a million, I'd at least give them half.

No, I'd probably invest it, and make a billion. Then I could use the money to build a huge free bed and breakfast, and only invite the homeless. The extra money could be used to fund the operation, for the next 40 or 50 years, paying for staff, and caretakers, and stuff.

Handing the money out may get them a few nights in a motel room, and some meals, but eventually, if they can't be showered and feeling good about themselves long enough to land jobs and support themselves, the money will run out and they'll be homeless again.

To truly feel that you belong to the human race, you need a home to call your own.

I would give money to the provide homeless twith a facility like a soup kitchen or cafe, and I would hand out money but only after getting to know the person and taking steps to ensure what they can spend it on cant do them any harm. Its not about making the giver feeling good ofcourse, it should be altruistic.

Yes. I'd walk along the streets of some big city and give two dollars to every poor-looking person who asked for like an hour.

No. I would go buy them a great meal and try to find them placement where they are safe but that is the extent. Most of those people that are asking for money are not wanting your money for food they want it for drugs and alcohol. If they are truely hungry they will accept your offer of food. If they don't then they arn't really wanting the money for food.

I don't think I would do that, because I wouldn't know if they were going to spend it on drugs or alcohol. But I would donate to homeless shelters.

No; I would take care of my family before helping a stranger.
