I
never give money to panhandlers since most of them use it to buy alcohol or drugs and you're
not helping them by handing them money - you're hurting them!
I do give money to the local Salvation Army and my church since I know these organizations give food and clothing to people down on their luck.

More people should take your approach - and just say NO to the thinly disguised muggers. That's why people give them money, most are afraid not to.
A little spine and a concealed carry weapon are the right way to go IMHO. Why should we give the streets over to these slugs?
