Make Care Packages
Care packages are small packages with essentials that homeless individuals may need. Give care packages by hand and avoid doing it alone.
You can carry small care packages in your bag or backpack. You can carry bigger care packages in your car. You may reuse spare plastic bags to make care packages.
Avoid low-quality items. Be careful with putting clothing in care packages because it is difficult to judge someone's size.
Avoid sticky or hard food, perishable goods, sharp objects, matches, canned goods without pop-top openers, , alcohol, mouth-wash or hand-sanitizer with alcohol, large items, fragrances,
Essential Ideas
Gloves and socks are important even during the summer because the nights can be quite cold. Unused underwear is a great idea.
Non-perishable food can be kept without a fridge and consumed when needed. Please remember to provide food you WOULD eat and take into account nutritional content. A lot of homeless individuals do not have access to teeth care and may find it difficult to consume sticky or hard foods.
