[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1746856, member: 10619"] I never do. There was a story on the local news a few years ago about how either the city or a private company put together coupon books that had vouchers for free meals, transportation, toiletries, etc, the same thing the homeless claim to need money for. The public could buy these for $xx/each and donate to the homeless. So the news station purchased like 100 of these and started giving them to random homeless people. I can't remember the exact percentages, but a majority of the homeless refused to even accept these (say less than 20%) and of those successfully handed out, it was estimated that less than 10% of the coupons were redeemed.
