Beef stew. Chili. Sausages and rolls (or pigs in a blanket)...
Maybe some mince pies or something in individual disposable bowls?

If they're actually hungry it doesn't need to be anything fancy. Something portable and easy to eat while standing is most likely a plus.

It's good of you remembering what it was like and wanting to help, anon. Makes me feel a little warm inside.

If you want to help, go donate to a shelter or church that helps the homeless
Better yet, join a political movement that wants to build more homeless shelters and improve the social safety net. Don't help Salvation Army though.
Making one meal won't make many people's lives better, as heartfelt or well meaning as it may be.
If you already do do that, then make things you can pass out easy or make a big pot of.
Some good ideas would be sandwiches, soup, chili, or tamales.

>why are homeless people so entitled?
Because half of them aren't actually homeless. They just make more cash begging than they would in a cubicle. Some of these fuckers even bring their kids with them for extra sympathy points. There is this one family that's been begging outside the local Pet Smart for about 8 months now. Everytime I drive by, they're there. I imagine they chose Pet Smart because animal people are usually more sympathetic. They've got it down to a science.
