I knew someone once who taught me to always keep cash on me, in case I encounter someone who asks me for money so I can always give them something. That’s stuck with me, and is a simple practice that helps me be available for service at any moment to the unhoused population. Thought I’d share in case that is helpful for any readers here!

That’s great advice! Especially now that nobody carries cash on them anymore.

great idea! a friend of mine also taught me to ask unhoused people outside of the store "I'm grabbing a few things, can I buy you something to drink and something to eat?"
