Kanye West Gives Homeless Man $100, Promises to Send Him Free Yeezys

Kanye West is so serious about making a difference in his hometown, he's already giving away money and designer shoes to people in need.

Kanye had just endured a trip to his dentist in Chicago Friday ... when a homeless man approached him. Ye decided to make the guy's day with a crisp Ben Franklin and a promise to send him a free pair of Yeezys.

If you're wondering where he's gonna send the shoes -- the man gave Ye his mom's contact info.

Kanye made big news in the Windy City when he announced he's moving back with big plans to help heal the community.
