Regardless of the obligation of the poor person to sell his objects, there’s a much bigger obligation on everyone in Klal Yisroel to not allow a fellow Jew to get to the point where he is in poverty. One should discretely find ways to support those who are in trouble. Help them get jobs…donate towards their salary (if they really aren’t that qualified, so you arrange with the employer to pay towards his salary…) if you own a grocery store, extend him credit or say “there’s a special” on this stuff and give it to him at cost…
