Homelessness is a disease like others. It generally is by choice, but not always. There are shelters all over this country. I live in Southern California where these folks are everywhere. They can choose to live in a shelter and have a better life for a short time. They choose to follow no rules. If Honny Brown had someone throw an apple at her, so be it. We are not put on this earth to do missionary work. Go forth and be productive, please. Do your mystery shopping work, enjoy and be productive.

When I lived in Los Angeles, I would have my friends volunteer at Habitat for Humanity on my birthday (the weekend after). We usually rehabbed a house none of us could afford on our professional incomes.
Why not? Drug dealers, drug users and killers get hungry also. And what is your obsession with cold, stale pizza? When I give away my pizzas, the recipients are getting a hotter, fresher pizza than if I drove all the way home and ate it myself.@Irene_L.A. wrote:

I was talking about pizza shops.@gbarnes wrote:
None of this has anything to do with mystery shopping. You are all off topic. This helps no one.

Maybe he had bad, or no, teeth and could not eat an apple.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I would imagine this could happen 1 out of 100 times. Go with your heart - I believe you will do this again. Don't let one person spoil your kindness. Too many people out there need food and sometimes just for some-one to talk with them. Good luck.

Honny, I have a friend that helps build homes for Habitat for Humanity (Jimmy Carters program), it's a really great cause. There are so many ways to give, many needy folks out there. I stated I give clothes to the woman't centers for abused woman. Homeless live where there are food kitchens in L.A. so they get a decent meal (at lest here)....you wouldn't go into the hard core homeless area with drugs and killings., offering a piece of cold stale pizza, let's get real. I had given to Cancer research when I could, I'm sure we all have our favorite charities.

I don't do Habitat for Humanity out here because I don't have the same circle of friends here.
Instead of giving a cold stale pizza or an apple, I tithe to my church, give to Red Cross and the United Way on occasion, and I shop at Goodwill. That way, the people in the drug infested areas, neighborhoods I don't go into, and people in need are helped.

LOL. Are you in CA? Only place I've ever been that homeless folks don't appreciate what is offered.
