I drove trucks over the road for fifty years, and panhandlers were always just part of it. I am not so naive as to think that they might not take whatever money I give them for food and spend it on getting high. But I always asked myself, what if he IS hungry and I walk on by. I decided years ago that I would give someone enough to get some food, and what they did with it was not on me - that’s between them and their God. I might not make a difference in anyone’s life, but I may have helped a few get through the night. And that’s about as much as I could hope for.
