My office is near a couple of hotels where derelicts live, and this happens often. We finally made arrangements with two different restaurants (a pizza place and a "mom & pop" place) that we can call, tell them who we're sending up, and we'll pick up the tab.
I also keep McDonald's & Wendy's coupons with me, for when I'm not there.
I would never give more than about a quarter to a person, but I donate generously to groups such as the Salvation Army or other soup kitchens or shelters. My church also has a HUGE homeless ministry, both here and (strangely enough) near Philippi, West Virginia - where the miners were just killed.
Consider it karma, God's will, or whatever - but I think it's what we're called to do.
