> When I meet these people on the corner, the challenge for me is to treat them as people.  Engage in conversation.  Tell them I contribute to the Rescue Mission and TROSA and ask, do they know about them?  They all do get lists of such agencies before they can get their license to be on the corner.  So:  Getting out of my comfort zone to talk with these folks and not simply give them $1 or $5 on the go, which allows them to stay on the street.

Sometimes I hand them a breakfast bar or pack of pretzels, if I happen to have something like this in my car.
