Panhandlers are on our busy street corners. I don’t think this should be allowed. They are a distraction and could cause an accident.
The last panhandler I saw the other day, looked at me and I folded my hands and said I will pray for you then my light turned green to go.
The one prior walked towards me as I was getting out of car. I put my hand up and said Do not approach me and he turned around.
I have a gave a little before, but I found out they collect and go straight to liquor store for alcohol, cigs and lottery tickets. I know someone who knows a few.
I always give to the Salvation bell ringers, World Wildlife Fund, Humane Society❣
Good for you, Rhonda! Thank you for sharing your experiences with Panhandlers. Stay safe and I appreciate your participation!
