There are shelters this person can go to. Help is available to those who seek it. If this person lives under a bridge it's because this person chooses to.
If you feel the need to help this person, try to find the closest shelter to where he/she is living and give this person the information.
Drop off food and water instead of money.
Donate a duffel bag and a warm blanket for him/her.

First of, how does this question fit into the singles & dating category? And as for your question, I think it's very relevant in it's timing. Because we are living in the 21st century where our world is a home for the greatest number of wealthy population it has ever seen and then you look at the poor who can barely make it through the day. I can relate to this problem because I myself live in one of the poorest nations even in third world standards. You walk up and down the streets and you see that a
child eating out of the garbage cans is not an out of ordinary scene. Physically impaired people, with no clothes on, lying everywhere on the streets. And I believe the only way we can tackle this problem in a sustainable way is by improving the political makeup of these nations because all the aids that come from richer nations end up in the pockets of these self proclaimed politicians and power mongers and second of all I think all of us around the world should take this personally and try acting on it at least by helping those impoverished communities in our vicinity because poverty is after all a universal issue.

There are three ways that someone can care for the poor. People can do all three, but often that is not possible. However, we can all do something.
1. Provide direct support for the Pantry's efforts by donating food or money to buy food.
2. Volunteer to help distribute the food. Two people are needed for each three-hour shift. Also, people can help by picking up and transporting food.
3. Finally, everyone can provide prayer support. You can pray for the general success of our efforts, ask the Lord for volunteers to work at the Pantry, ask the Lord for money and food to give to the needy, ask for guidance, adequate facilities, and for God's help for those actively involved in our efforts. Your can pray in any way that works best for you, such as say the Rosary, spend time in meditation, spend time in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. During Lent, we will have the Blessed Sacrament exposed for adoration after mass during the week for about 20 minutes at Sacred Heart Church. This is already available at St. Yves on Tuesday

By giving a real love from our heart, by giving at least a little bit of food to eat everyday, by going near them and talk a little --All this things can be done by the person who has real love for poor .

He is probably a alchoholic,and they have to help themselves.If he has mental problems,call your local mental help line and ask who you should call.
