Its hard in this world not to be cynical but you can try.

Wow, kudos to the creator of this idea (and the Amazon delivery people...), beautiful gesture.

Homelessness is such a tough subject...on the one hand, handouts generally precipitate the problem. Making it easier to live on the streets = less reason to get a job and life back together.
On the other hand, being homeless probably makes it nearly impossible to get a normal job. So many of them may not even be mentally fit for a job.
