I never carry cash and I very rarely see homeless people though I'm sure they exist here. A past job I held, we were a very large call center (I was in IT) we had hundreds of call center employees - every christmas, we would get in touch with local shelters and hospitals and do a "needy family fund" where employees would donate canned food, toys for kids, blankets, etc... anything you could imagine. We gathered so much we filled 2 21 foot vans and supported 30+ families. It always infuriated me that we did this. Not that I hated giving - I gave as much as I could, but that we ran a call center. Onsite training for the call center was just 1 week and every week we'd have 10-20 new hires (badge access was a nightmare) - we'd train anyone that could pass a drug test and pass a basic math quiz and pay started at $16 / hour with monthly bonus. I often said - "Why don't we give these people jobs? We hire almost anyone off the street. The toys and food are great, but if you want to see someone smile, give them a job and let them provide a real life for their family" I never got a strait answer.
