People who have ever hired homeless people with the will work for food signs. What was your

experience like? One super cold night over Christmas break a couple of years back, my roommates and I were

walking to Taco Bell and saw a homeless man laying in the parking lot. He had a cheap, thin

blanket, so we brought him some food and asked him if he wanted to spend the night inside, and he came

back and stayed at our house. Via Facebook, we helped him find his daughter who he hadn't spoke to in a couple of years.

He was able to wish her a Merry Christmas.

I spent the night worrying that he would steal everything in the house.

When I woke up, the blankets were neatly folded, and he had left us two pairs of socks and some deodorant.

A week later, we came home to find that someone had raked all of our leaves for us.

Haven't seen him since, but I hope he is well. Ten out of ten would do again.

Lovely story, dig the human kindness. I myself could not help someone to that degree, allowing them in my home,

but that's because I have skepticism and doubts in people's human nature.

In college, I got my fraternity to hire a

homeless guy I always talked to to do security for our parties. I went to college in a pretty

crappy city, and my fraternity never turned people away from our parties, so we sometimes had to

worry about gang members wandering in. I actually met a former Latin king who was pretty cool. The school

wouldn't provide security since it could be seen as them condoning underage drinking.

So I suggested we hire this homeless guy I knew who was always at my go-to Munchy's gas station because he had actually helped me out when I almost got mugged once, and knew a lot of the less than savoury characters.

We told him we just needed him to let us know if there was anyone he knew might cause a problem. Dude was more professional than most of the less than savory characters. We told him we just needed him to let us know if there was

anyone he knew might cause a problem. Dude was more professional than most bouncers at the bars

I've been to. He made everyone that wasn't obviously a student show their neck and wrists for gang

tattoos and ran a tight goddamn ship. Our president ended up getting him a bouncer job at a club
