Historically, begging and vagrancy were crimes, and homeless people who begged for money were seen as a form of social parasite. By contrast, begging is not illegal in NSW.

Begging is a criminal offence under section 3 of the Vagrancy Act 1824 (as amended). In 2019, there were 926 prosecutions and 742 convictions for begging.

Begging was made a recordable offence in December 2003 as part of the then Labour Government’s drive to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour. The Government claimed the change would “help tackle the anti-social behaviour of some aggressive beggars, which can intimidate the public, leading to increased fear of crime”.

3. Respect boundaries.
4. Be forgiving.
5. Reap the rewards.
6. Don’t be sorry.

What to Give to Homeless People

• Grocery Store Gift Cards. Grocery store gift cards are a great way to give someone access to all the essentials that they might need, whenever they most need them.
• Socks.
• Hand Warmers.
• Unscented Baby Wipes.
• Tampons.
• Garbage Bags.
• Toilet Paper.
• Water Bottles.

A blessing bag is a small assortment of basic toiletries and snacks in a sealable plastic bag. Have you ever driven past a person in need and wondered what you could do to help? Keep one or two of these blessing bags in your car to have on hand!

As for non-perishable items, think the basics. Granola bars, canned fruit or vegetables, peanut butter, maybe a candy bar — pretty much anything you can open and eat (that can’t get smushed, like potato chips). Don’t forget pet food! It’s estimated that around 10% of homeless people have pets to keep them company.

Absolutely! Just because they are homeless doesn’t mean you have the right to treat them like a pig or a rat. Try this: buy some food, give it to a homeless person to eat as much as they can, and whatever they can’t eat, you will eat the leftovers.

Instructions

1. Call the shelter and ask for the volunteer coordinator.
2. Choose a meal that is healthful but easy to prepare, such as spaghetti or tacos.
3. Shop for ingredients with your children.
4. Arrive early on the appointed day to make sure everything is in order.
5. Cook your meal.
6. Serve the meal.
7. Clean up.
