Food is cheap. It's very easy for a homeless person to beg enough $ to buy food for the day. Food is NOT why they're begging. They're begging for money to supply their habit. Free food from you and even from a soup kitchen means more of that money can be used for the habit.

If you don't realize that, yes I think you're naive about how things really are. I used to be a person who regularly bought them food until I realized this. So I used to think just like you. I was naive too. Until so many homeless people refused my free food and requested money instead that lightbulbs started slowly going off in my head and I did more research and sure enough it confirmed my suspicions.

The money that panhandlers collect ultimately ends up with the cartels or the liquor store.

So you're not only against individuals providing food to the homeless, you're also opposed to organizations doing it. You're just a wonderful human being, aren't you?

Sure you were.

Yes, I believe orgs and people supplying free food to people with addictions in countries where food is cheap such as the U.S. are doing more harm than good. Just because I have a different opinion than you doesn't mean I'm a bad person. What you posted above shows you in a bad light, not me.

Hey what's up guys, hope you are all doing well! I've been caught up with other things the last few months but wanted to get this rolling again and shoot for a meet up every 2 weeks or so. Here are some volunteer opportunities in Vegas for November.

11/8/17- Meet up at 5PM Charlie Frias Park (on Tropicana just west of Orleans) to clean up trash.

to help the homeless, they should provide much better security and much safer locks and stronger doors in the budget/siegel suites places. plus offer a monthly rate of like $200 LESS instead of just the weekly rate times 4. this will do wonders for making paying rents easier.

those places way too unsafe, so im stuck paying $1355 per month to live elsewhere by the month, though im not earning nearly enough at poker to afford this plus daily Uber. my costs are like $500 per month over my income (which is only about $2000 per month in poker winnings)

and its hard to play good poker when u constantly see others (and hear) overpriced $120 hourly massages being hocked in the poker room u cannot afford, making u feel like **** for not being able to afford spending $25 per day additional. rooms should ban having to see reminders constantly of how much richer recreational tourists are than us professional grinders.

Well I suppose if you show up then at least you can get a free meal!!!

11/22/17- at 5PM in front of Walgreens on the corner of LV Blvd and Convention Center dr to hand out clothes/ meals to homeless

Just a reminder, if you are free this afternoon we'll be at Charlie Frias Park at 5pm doing some trash clean up.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Quick reminder, we are meeting up today at 5PM in front of Walgreens on the corner of LV Blvd and Convention Center dr to hand out some turkey sandwiches, cookies and water. Anyone can join, see ya there.

Bah, sorry I missed again this month bud. Busy times with the travels and grind and such. Hopefully I'll join you again in the near future!

Happy holidays, and cheers!!

Did I miss you guys? I showed up a few minutes late like at 5:07, walked around awhile but couldn't find anyone. Guess I have a bad phone number for you as well. Happy Thanksgiving hope you have a good one!
