Panhandling is slang for begging.

I never give money or anything to beggars. I don't want to encourage begging.

Better to kick out some $$$ to watch them starve. I do agree that most of the time they buy booze

The other night there were a few guys who were too tired and cold to ask people verbally so they just sat against the wall with a sign for food/blankets/money so I bought each a bowl of soup and a cup of coffee. When I returned with the bag and gave it to them, they looked positively shocked. Goes to show how many people pay any attention.

It's sad really. The homeless become almost invisible this time of year. I'm glad folks like you do not forget them.
