Sadly there are laws in many placed that will arrest them and fine you. Also be careful of the amount. Money is a blessing and a curse. If a darker homeless person see you give the money and see mutable bills, the person you gave it to becomes a target.
The streets are a dark and dangerous place.
If you do give money, please make it 1 bill and folded up. That way the amount cannot be seen by others.
Dark person=street slang for bad guy, thug, all around bullies
If you hear a street person say "He's a dark." to another homeless person about someone, you may want to watch the one they are talking about to.
Also their is different slang for different areas of the country. If you volunteer/work at any of the soup kitchens or shelters, you will pick it up.
