How should I respond to a beggar who confronts me for money?
What if I don't want to give money, but I still want to help?
There are many ways to help without giving money. You could offer to buy the person food or a drink, or offer to help connect them with local resources like shelter or employment services. If you don't feel you can give anything at the moment, simply acknowledging the person and showing them kindness may make a difference.
