I hate to go against the sub feel-good theme but the area around H&M on Pike Street (Seattle) is emphatically not a good place to be giving money to homeless people. You don't want to be known for carrying cash on a predictable schedule that close to Freeway Park. Also, homeless people in that area are almost all either grifters out to fleece tourists, or they're dangerously unstable to the point where interacting with them is very much not recommended.
Please donate to local shelters or homeless programs if you want to help people. It's way more effective, and much less dangerous.

Oh jeeze, I don't want to be "that guy", but... I dunno. I kind of doubt the legitimacy of this wholesomeness :(
