Do you feel comfortable giving homeless and hungry people who beg on the streets your money? Why or why not?
The truth is, many people don’t, and the biggest reason I hear is that they don’t want the person spending money on drugs and alcohol instead of food.
There’s a really easy way to avoid this conundrum: Subway gift cards. You could do McDonalds, Wendy’s, Burger King, or whatever too. I like Subway because they have healthy food.
Five or six bucks can buy you a big, satisfying meal at a Subway, and with a gift card, you know where your money is going.
I think I’m going to start carrying a few cards around with me, and when I see someone begging on the street, drop a card into their collection cup. I encourage you to steal this idea if it resonates with you.
Help end hunger, one meal at a time.
