Considering recent findings that McDonalds food is not quite the healthiest of grub,,,,aka,,,,it'll ruin ye,,,they may be doing the homeless folks a favor. Maybe the salad bar restaurants will be more compassionate,,,,and the food is safe to eat.

There will always be homeless some by the trials of life and actually some by choice.
Some panhandlers make more than people with jobs.
Unfortunately I don't see any reason not to feed people who are hungry and I am not
going to ask a hundred questions to see if they qualify. To be fair its not just the arches
that are nasty.
I was in an Arby's a couple of days before Christmas last year. Late afternoon this guy
was among the poor no doubt. He had ordered a burger and coffee and had lost a bit
of change. He was short. What I saw was the look of despair they said he didn't have
enough. My comment to the clerk Merry (f) Christmas to you. I paid for the meal and
gave him twenty bucks. I felt ashamed to be in the human race where people are treated
like this.
When I was a kid we lived near he tracks and hobo's came all the time my mother fed them
what she had. I don't think poor or the homeless are of any less value in life than me.

the question is what is mcdonald's doing for the homeless?
there are many programs in the communities to feed the homeless,or in Mcdonalds case there is alot for them to chose to particpate in to address the issues in their communities regarding feeding their people of their community
Programs like "project open hand"in San Francisco is one example of simple concepts which give back to their community.
I know lots about McDonalds but I know little about their participation in feeding the people of their communities.
would someone like to educate me?

I've got no objection to feeding homeless scum - as long as they pay. This is not a free-for-all.

How can they pay while they have no money? So this is why they are vagrants: no money.
And it is the duty of the rich to feed the poor.

Those who feed the poor will be rewarded ten folds in this life of the World and 700 folds and more in the Next Life (on condition that they do not join others as patrons or peers with God, regarding their expenditure, and their expenditure on the poor should be for the sake of God alone.)

While the miserly or the niggardly who do not expend out of their money to the poor and vagrants for the sake of God: they will go to Hell on Doomsday.

{[Then God – be glorified – started to dispraise the miser and the niggardly:]

Quran 4: 37. Such as are niggardly i, and bid other men to be niggardly j and themselves conceal the bounty that God has given them k.
We have prepared for the [ungrateful l] disbelievers a humbling chastisement m.}
......................................................
i i.e. they don't give any of their money to the poor and needy.
j i.e. in order that people may imitate them concerning their stinginess.
k i.e. if a beggar comes and begs them for some of their money, they will apologize and say to him: We haven't anything to give you.
Such misers and niggardly will be punished in the Next Life.
l to God's bounties.
m i.e. a humiliating chastisement.
