I have been seeing some individuals asking for money or food on street corners, is it better to give food or gift cards rather than cash?

Instead of providing cash or gifts of food to individuals, consider giving to local non-profits or agencies that serve families and individuals experiencing homelessness or make a donation to the Wheat Ridge Community Foundation to support the work of the Homeless Navigator http://bit.ly/DonateWRHomelessNav
