Once I gave out the last 2 sandwiches to someone who was clearly very hungry. Then someone else walked up who said he hadn't eaten that day. I said I was sorry but we were out of sandwiches. Then the guy with two gave one of his to the new guy. Things like that are not uncommon.
If you want to do a good deed, just talk to a homeless person, even if you don't give them any money. So many people totally ignore them that loneliness is one of the worst parts of being homeless.
