My roommate is hurting on money really bad, but is not a responsible

I would say no. When ever I tried being nice to roommates I've always been dicked. In a pretty similar situation to yours.

Except instead of offering money a group of us went out one time and the roomie with no money suggested we eat out. I just starting dating my gf so I didn't want to cause a scene, and I just ended up paying for his meal which of course he never paid me back. When I had money I would be very generous, and now that I don't those same "friends" flinch at the thought of dropping a penny. Ask yourself would this person help you out? Otherwise you can give him and just say "I got you some money for food".

Well, I wouldn't expect any money back. This would just be "here's 50 bucks, don't die in my house."

I was homeless once, and I remember very much what it's like to be hungry and hopeless.

Or you can make up some bullshit of "my mom made all these lasagnas help yourself"

Idk what kind of person he is. You could honestly straight up ask him if he needs help budgeting, but some people might get defensive about that

I'm not gonna cook for him. I know he's running out of food though, and he keeps buying delivery pizzas and shit with the last of his money - which is keeping him from paying his car insurance, and inevitably... my rent.

Unnecessary expenditure can be a sign of depression or anxiety about a financial situation - irrationally, a person may spend money that they should be otherwise saving, in order to fend off immediate feelings of impending broke-ness. He likely does need help with his money, though in the form of getting a sense of budgeting, which may require professional help. If he is enrolled in college, many universities offer a student counseling service free of charge.

His inability to spend sensibly is not your responsibility. If he didn't have any money that would be a different story, but if he has money and is spending it on the wrong shit, that's not your problem.
