take refuse consider
Several times on my way to work, I passed a gentleman who I supposed homeless.He had a lot of his possessions  tied  down to his bike and held a cardboard sign that said he was a  vet  who doesn't drink or do drugs, but would  [MASK]  anything that could be given.He usually has  headphones  on and is listening to the radio.He is always  minding  his own business, often reading  as well  .I've never seen him  actively  "begging".
