Is this a good idea or not?

we have a big shopping center in our inner city- it is one of those really weird things you will have diamond stores and some designers but you also are faced with poverty there are many homeless or just out of work people who are forced to beg. I want to help them but don't want to further a possible cycle of abuse by giving cash. I was thinking I would go buy a bunch of $10 mcdonalds giftcards so that they can have a meal- can't get cash to buy drugs or booze. There is also one homeless woman who I pass each day. She is really trying to get a job but just can't( and I think partyl because she has no work clothes, and has been able to shower in a long time. I thought I would buy her a set of black pants and a dressy shirt (like $60) and then give her a $30 gift card to a salon/spa so she could either get her hair cut/make up put on and could also get a clean shower. I want her to feel like a woman again- because I honnestly thinks she doesn't.This is just a lady who is truly down on her luck she gets meals at the homeless shelter/soup kitche but doesn't spend the night because they have limited beds and she doesn't want to take up a bed for a child. Is this a good idea??
