If you are so concerned about encouraging employment among the homeless, why not simply ask such folk to pray for you after giving them a few bucks?
I think encouraging employment amongst the homeless is probably a good idea, but what caused you to post to me? I give 'em McDonald's gift certificates, except for my favorite bum on the 14th street exit ramp, who always gets a coupla bucks.
Did you perhaps mean to post to somebody else?
