Two thoughts occur to me: Firstly, when I was about ten years old my Aunt told me the story of Saint Martin of Tours. Might be worthwhile to google it and see if you think it applies. Secondly, a lot of homeless people are veterans who have seen too much of the horror of war and just can't fit into mainstream society as a result. I'll be damned to hell if I ever pass up a veteran asking for help if I have so much as a dime to my name.
One might remember the source of the phrase, 'and the greatest of these is charity'.
