This time of year, I carry cash for the bell-ringing Santas. I used to go to multi-day seminars, some would supply box lunches. After I’ve had mine and the other attendees have chosen theirs, I’d grab one or two more and go for a walk and hand out the sponsor’s goodwill. :)
If you want to save a homeless person’s life by him of new pair of socks. Buy a pack of socks and he’ll share them with his friends. I’m pretty sure to many of the recipients the act of kindness is pretty great.
As a Tolkien fan, I need to point out that the attribution is from Gandalf in Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”. It is not a quote from Tolkien, and to his credit Stephen does not attribute it to Tolkien. Just wanted to clarify this, as I’ve seen this quote attributed directly to Tolkien elsewhere on the interwebs.

Lately, I’ve been giving homeless folks a dollar or two.
