Hey guys.

This Christmas I'm planning on putting together a care package for the homeless man who lives behind where I work.

If you guys want to do the same (something I highly suggest) I'll post a good list of things you can give. Let's revive compassion and hope in the human race.

If you give the package to a shelter or organization, keep receipts on everything you bought. This is considered charitable work and will be tax deductible.

Good Christmas Care Package Items:
• Socks
• Toilet Paper
• Toothbrush / toothpaste
• Individual anti-bacterial wipes
• Hand lotion
• Chap stick
• Fast food gift certificate
• Granola bars
• Bottle of water
• Poncho
• Resource guide (homemade or more official)
• Gloves
• Hat
• Fruit Cups
• Crackers
• Nuts and Dried Fruit
• Jerky
• Flashlight
• Hand warmer
• Cough Drops

Use backpacks. The care package items can be placed in a backpack. This is a functional item someone living on the streets can use repeatedly.

I hope you guys will join me in making life a little easier and warmer for those who need it.

I love the holidays, the only time of the year when people seem to open their hearts. I'll be contributing a first aid kit.

would like to help out

SoREALemjay

From my understanding, she isn't collecting anything. She is just sharing her good deed and trying to tell the community to do that same.

Correct.
But if you guys want to drop things off at my house I'll put it all into care boxes/bags and Casey and I will hunt down some homeless individuals and make their Christmas a little merrier.

Aww this is so thoughtful! And that's a great list. I've only ever given bottles of water and Oreo cakesters to the homeless people I encounter on the way to school and work. Thanks for sharing, Drisana
