Give them a hot drink or maybe something to eat as well.
And never forget to give them also a HUGE smile.
Your smile will definetly be priceless.

I would personally buy the homeless person a hot drink, or food, but not give them money, you never know what they are going to use it for.

I personally like to buy the person some food and drink, depending on how much I have. I don't like to give them money because they may use it to buy drugs/alcohol and hurt themselves. I once gave a homeless girl (who was about 14 or so), my scarf because it was freezing and she only had a sweater.

I'd say that it depends on the situation. If the homeless person is cold or hungry, and you have time to take them to a restaurant, then buy them a meal with whatever they'd like to drink.
If they are out of work, and have a family to support, then give them money. I saw a man on the street the other day, he held a sign that said... "Out of work, have family, anything is appreciated." I gave him a dollar, and he thanked me very much. It made me feel good, knowing that I had helped him.
The reward I got from helping him, was ten times greater than the small amount that I gave him....and I know that he appreciated it very much.

that is a hard question to answer.. cuz yes as much as he might appreciate the money... he could still very easily go buy something that he doesnt need... and on the other hand if you give him the hot drink he is going to appricate it but he is still gonna be sayin inside man i sure would like a cold one...make your judgement but i got to say give him the drink you can use the money yourself

Most (but not all) people who are homeless are homeless because they suffer from extreme forms of alcoholism, drug addiction, or mental illness.

Money will often end up going towards drugs or alcohol. Food or a beverage is a better bet, if you see someone whom you perceive to be truly needy.

A hot drink. This way you can see that your money is spent helping that person. If you give them money, they may spend it on drugs or alcohol. Then, your charity will have been wasted.

Give them the food, clothing or drink; do not give them money to buy drugs or alcohol with.

I would buy that person something to eat (maybe a hamburger ) and a drink.

Give them drinks or food. Don't give money. They might use it on liquor.
