While some might use "a group of beggars" or "a band of beggars," these aren't really true collective nouns.
It's important to remember that using collective nouns for people who are begging can be insensitive and perpetuate negative stereotypes. It's often better to use more neutral language that focuses on the individual, such as:
* People who are experiencing homelessness and poverty
* Individuals seeking financial assistance
* Those in need of support
This helps to avoid generalizations and promote understanding and compassion.
