I think some of the dissent in the comments fail to consider some of the nuances in this interaction. If this specific kind gesture isn’t appealing I have two alternatives to suggest.
I keep a bunch of bottles of water in my backseat and two in my glovebox to hand out to people asking for help at traffic lights and such.
Goodwill and other thrift stores generally have books for pretty cheap. Easy to fill a shopping bag for $20. I mostly aim for beginner level novels and young adult fiction and put them in the free neighborhood libraries. Satan knows we need more children reading.
What you’re doing is kind, but keeping (presumably) plastic bottles of water in your car will cause them to leech tons of micro plastics into the water.
I understand and appreciate the sentiment but the people I’m handing them to are far more likely to be harmed by the 90° heat first. I am talking about unhoused and other people failed by society. They dont really have the luxury to worry about microplastics.
