In general, giving things only to poor people generates opposition to the program giving it. The attitude is, "Why should my hard work pay for those lazy people." Means testing can also add a lot of overhead and headaches for the people involved. My suggestion: use it to pay down your upcoming tax bill, give it to people you know could use it, if you order food, leave some really fat tips for the delivery guy, donate to charity.
