I've dealt with many different types of beggars on a regular basis during the 5+ years that I've been living in Chicago. While my pockets aren't deep, I do try to be charitable when possible. I only give to those who I see on a regular basis, who come off as humble, non-harassing, and don't display obvious signs of substance abuse. Charity will range from spare change, to extra cash, even food if I'm out grabbing some when I run into them.
