Again, I already do everything you have outlined in your post. I am an officer in a volunteer organization that does everything you listed in your post. I don't do it for any type of "pat on the back," I specifically do it to make each one of those peoples lives...just that much better. I donate anything I have on me at the time to any homeless man/woman I have ever seen. The last person to pick-up someone for a ride in my area ended up being stabbed, gutted and left in a dumpster. Sorry, I will donate my time and money, but I will not permit a sranger into my car in this area. I would gladly call and pay for a taxi for them, but they aren't getting in my car lol.
