Tobit 4

7 Give alms out of thy substance, and turn not away thy face from any poor person: for so it shall come to pass that the face of the Lord shall not be turned from thee.

8 According to thy ability be merciful.

9 If thou have much give abundantly: if thou have a little, take care even so to bestow willingly a little.

10 For thus thou storest up to thyself a good reward for the day of necessity.

11 For alms deliver from all sin, and from death, and will not suffer the soul to go into darkness.

12 Alms shall be a great confidence before the most high God, to all them that give it.

No, for the homeless, not the giver, but a nice thing to read tho, Thanks!

Don't give out money, the root of all evil.

Give out knowledge, the most valuable good.

Volunteer at teaching.

I give out kits of food, water, first aid supplies, and a laminated sheet of places where you can get help.

It's very cheap to get going, and it really works. Met a couple who were tided over partially by my supplies until their temporary housing came through.

Oh, and handwarmers are about 60c per. I slip a pair or two in as well in winter. Socks are also very useful, but GOOD socks, because they use them a LOT.

I typed without thinking.

I meant that lost souls could buy evil things with it and go even further away from salvation.

Sorry, mate.
