I've given money and donated items to various charities over the years, but I've become a bit more suspicious with regards to how much of that money actually goes to the people who need it. The major example that stands out in my mind is I used to give blood on a regular basis through the Red Cross. I stopped doing that when I found out they sold it to hospitals.
I actually prefer to give directly to homeless though I'll give food, not money.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
