Do you donate money when you can?

[Master]

I donate my time to children's charity and visiting people in custody. That is worth more than money because I am worth £25 per hour.

Ya I figured you were too cheap

It is easy to give money, your time is more precious.

Stop the denial tightwad you live in England I'm talking about helping those who live in fear of genocide you cheap fool @denilson200

Charity begins at home.

We had a cool little program a few years ago of volunteering one weekend a month at one of the downtown shelters. Simple stuff we all take for granted, handing out toiletries and collecting then serving "unsold foods" otherwise destined for the garbage. It's stunning the amount of food and produce big and small restaurants or stores alike just simply throw out and the huge majority is perfectly good. Veterans organizations we try to donate twice a year. We do free clean up and basic vaccines for some service assistant dogs before they visit nursing homes. The homeless population has at least doubled in the immediate area but I rarely hand out cash and opt for bagels and Gatorade or grab a big sack of .49 cent tacos. Unfortunately and it's just being straight..there are homeless that play on the generosity and become "regulars", perfectly able bodied and hardly in their mid 20's usually in groups with at least 1,2 dogs but always there running up to your car window..not advised. Those are the ones who throw major attitude if you hand them a $5 roll of nickles..it spends..or a huge bag of dog food for their pets. The mothers with child or the old men with the glazed stare can crush ya.

I give to a volunteer none profit dog charity , the rest I wouldn't give to. Buying a new BMW and giving £ 150,000 to the MD of a charity isn't charity . Sir Ian Botham used to give to the R.S.P.B for many years , he then learned years later about 2 pence in the pound actually goes to the charity , the rest is for the employees. He pulled the plug on that one.

I sometimes give money to homeless people, they don't actually need breakfast as there are lots of shelters and soup kitchen type places around here. I think if you give a man a fish, he can eat for a day; but if you give him money for substances he won't need nearly as much food in the long run.

Very true. One thing that drives me nuts is seeing a guy with a fresh sign.."Hungry, any amount helps but dollars heal, bless you". Saw that last month. I pass him and notice he had pulled up a sign advertising for temp work . The type that read "daily positions available- cash pay lunch credits". It's a small business less than 6 blocks away! I just don't get it.

It depends. If the person looks able bodied they should be looking for work. I prefer to buy them a pie and drink etc rather than give money. That way they can't spend it on the pokies or drugs/ alcohol. It's got real bad around my area. I saw this f-cker ask a chick for money. She offered him $20 and he had the cheek to say it wasn't enough. There are some very real sad cases but many are just taking the piss. Plus if I asked them to help me pay one of my bills they'd tell me where to go. So same dif.

when i used to live in LA i was kinda afraid of the homeless, they always standing where there's red lights, so if its red i have to stop, sometimes they knock on the window, wash my windscreen. it feels like i have to give them money if they wash my windscreen. but even if it was cleaner before... and it feels like imma get robbed when i roll down my windows as well. its really uncomfortable. and fuck me, downtown LA after 11PM Fuck me never again. PS this is when i was 18, i got the guts to tell them to fuck off now.

The off ramps downtown are the same here. Right under the bridges it's basically Bartertown and full of 'tent' cities. Do a lot of late driving last few months and into the AM there is little traffic and groups 5,10 literally sit under the lights. We run red light regularly rather than stop in certain areas after 1 am . Homeless can translate to a hole in head real quick in areas.

it's crazy, i'm not a fan of the whole downtown district, i mean the union station and turists places is alright but still good. same with hollywood it's only a few streets that's safe to walk on at night. I wonder how many turists that wanted to go downtown or hollywood at night and made a wrong turn into this side streets lol. if you google downtown LA it's seems lovely, but in reality it's a different story

Terry is dead so you can find another excuse not to give your money.
