Pandhandling and Christian Duty, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's approach to works of mercy

Christian duty and panhandlers. What's the right thing to do? For a long time I've struggled when approached by panhandlers, people on the street asking for money. I want to help, but I don't want to be taken advantage of, or feed an addiction, or endanger myself. As a Catholic, as a Christian, I know helping the less fortunate is central to my faith. In one of the most famous passages from Scripture, in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says in a parable 'whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.' 'For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.'
