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?
My point is, you can employ them by donating to them in exchange for prayers. A very informal "Little Brothers of the Street," if you will.
