I often go to some cities in Asia and sometimes will see someone who lives on the street. Many times they are sleeping during the day since it’s so hot and sometimes they look malnourished too. What would be the best foods I could provide them (assuming some restaurants or convenience stores are nearby) which would not spoil?

    Don’t, find local homeless charities and give them food or money. This way the food is keep safe so it doesn’t make the person sick.

        Dry goods that don’t need to be prepared. Things like crackers and beef jerky are reliable choices.

          JimmyDean: “hand out beef”

          Username checks out, but this might not go over well in much of India.
