If you give out homeless supply packs this winter, chapstick and lotion, nobody ever gives out lotion and chapstick but seriously, it’s such a lifesaver when you’re homeless in the cold.
Also stop giving homeless people bars of soap. Why do you think people want to carry a wet bar of soap?
Sanitizer or the dry soap strips. Don’t care that bars are cheaper they’re kind of a waste and housed people never listen on this one, but seriously. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.backpacker.com/.amp/osp/the-best-camp-soap-sheets

Since this is being shared, a lot of what was donated to me when I was on the streets I couldn’t use. It was often really cheap for the purchaser but poverty didn’t make my skin conditions or allergy stop.

So if you’re able to avoid that please do.

And yeah yeah beggars can’t be choosers but nobody wants to live on natures valley oat bars, a banana & ham w/ mustard on white bread forever.
Throw in some Oreos or a candy bar sometimes, a plum, a different flavor of snack bar, something nice once in a while. Make someone happy

Best bag I ever got was, Oreos, a decent pair of socks, sani, decent snack bars, a candy bar, instant coffee, hand warmers, an instant ramen and a dollar scratcher (which I won $5 on!) in a ziplock. Good stuff. That said “I see you as a human who also needs to be happy” to me.
