I don't think it's a bad idea to be charitable. But, you have to be careful approaching strange people. Some people can act "sane" by holding a conversation and answering appropriately--but still be unpredictable and dangerous.
I have often given sandwiches and other food to the homeless. Like in your case, it was the same guy in the same place on my way to work. I assumed he was either mentally ill and on drugs. ( He slept under an interstate ramp). But, who cares?
As long as your heart was in the right place, you did a good deed. There are not too many good-deed-doers left in this judgmental world.

Never bad to hand out food and just becase he seemed ok does not mean he's ok the rest of the time.
