Should I leave food for the opossum that comes by my house?

Question/Help

Hello, like the title says, I have an opossum that has been coming around my place at night (I live in the countryside, there is also a raccoon that sometimes wanders by too). He’s very distinctive looking, and never seems to notice me outside at night till we’re inches apart. When I do see him I give him space and don’t interact with him, but with it being winter I feel bad for the guy and want to help if I can. If I can feed him, if there anything specific, or just veggies and fruit?
