Even if 10 of them use it for booze and drugs, that 11th one that you give to and feeds her kids for the night is worth every penny that the others use to chemically escape their realities.

To be honest, I think it's worth those pennies for helping the first 10 as well. To steal a quote from Sports Night:

Isaac: Danny, every morning I leave an acre and a half of the most beautiful property in New Canaan, get on a train and come to work in a fifty-four story glass high rise. In between I step over bodies to get here - 20, 30, 50 of 'em a day. So, as I'm stepping over them I reach into my pocket and give them whatever I've got.

Dan: You're not afraid they're gonna spend it on booze?

Isaac: I'm hoping they're going to spend it on booze. Look, Dan, these people, most of 'em, it's not like they're one hot meal away from turning it around. For most of 'em the clock's pretty much run out. You'll be home soon enough. What's wrong with giving them a little novacaine to get 'em through the night?

In this day and age even if you are afraid they're going to spend the money on booze you can buy them a gift card to a nearby restaurant...

...which promptly can be sold for cash money.

On the beggar black market? :) I guess so... Seems like most of them would probably just use it for food, though.
