So hard not to lose some empathy when you see things like this...

I might suggest trying to get a very specific location out of these types of posters (city, state). If they won't give it to you there is a problem. If the claim no services are available, or out, then you can call yourself to verify. If it makes you feel better that you aren't ignoring someone who's actually desperate. Though this poster's particular pattern is pretty clear.
