My church supports a food pantry that prepares meal packets for malnourished people around the world. Boil a few cups of water, mix in this bag, and you have a meal for 6 people that can sustain them for a day.
Total cost? $0.50
I'm from IL, but I'd be willing to wager there's nowhere in SF a homeless person can buy a single meal for a single person with two quarters.
Which isn't to say you shouldn't buy the guy a sandwich. There's a value to that person's life that makes it worth the cost at much higher prices. It's just that, in today's world anyway, you don't have to spend all that much to make a difference.
