May 18 1-75 On ramp at Freedom Parkway

I was pulling up to the same on ramp where I'd given a lunch previously and saw a depressed looking young black man dejectedly holding a sign (not at an angle I could read). I rolled down my window as I'd only have a few seconds at the stop light (it's one of those 'one car per green' alternating lights that help ease traffic onto the highway). When I pulled up to him I offered the lunch and he perked up a bit and said "anything would help, especially food." I smiled, handed him the bag, and drove off.

I looked in my rear view mirror before I had to merge and observed him open the bag and then drop it rather umceremoniously on the ground. I'm not sure how to feel about that.
