What's an appropriate gift to give a homeless man?
On the one hand, he probably has nothing but what he can scrape together off the streets and out of dumpsters.
On the other, he’s surviving somehow, and he has his pride.
I’m assuming he has no electricity, can’t keep refrigerables or anything that isn’t tight against insects and rodents, and doesn’t have much protected space (if any). I’m also assuming that he won’t want anything that’s too tempting to a thief or that could get him accused of theft. And I hear that clothes are the easiest things to come by on the street.
I don’t know where he shelters, but I wouldn’t expect him to carry anything heavy very far.
Still, I’d like to give him something—something other than cash. And not tobacco or alcohol. Any ideas?
