Alms, alms for the poor!

People who want money beg, people who give money to the poor give alms.

people who get money (from the state) are on the dole, or on welfare. (UK/US)

some times beggers, are called "charity cases" (especially if they require services (like hospital services) that they just show up for, and make use , when they can't pay for them.
