Last winter, on a pretty cold day in November, there was a bum outside my old work begging in a sweater...odd because in my city of nearly 60,000 people, you might only see a bum begging twice a year.
Anyway, I gave him $2, and by the end of the work day about 4 hours later he's still outside, but was in clean, new, warm jacket. He must have went into the discount used clothes store beside my work and bought himself a jacket, after amassing probably $20 in change all day.
Felt pretty good about it, especially because I figured my money was going towards drugs/alcohol.
