We don't give people cash, EVER. We also don't turn people away because they're asking in a way that might be suspicious or different than what we would do. We do everything we can to help everyone we can help.
That's outstanding. It is easy to become jaded in charitable giving because it is inevitable that someone will take undue advantage of what you offer. You accept it and move on to the next person you can help. You know that on the whole you are doing good and helping people

I don't believe these on-the-street panhandling transactions, where all that is given is cash, are charity though. If one gives another enough money to OD, he's not really conferred a benefit.
