How many times have you been stopped at a red light and seen a homeless person holding a sign asking for help? It happens more than we care to admit. I know, from comments I have heard, that a lot of people don't like to give them money, but that doesn't mean you can't help them. You can give them a care bag.
A care bag is a sandwich bag or average size gift bag filled with every day items that everyone needs. Keep a couple in your car and the next time you see a homeless person on the street give them one.
Suggested items to include:
Soap Toothbrush Toothpaste Comb or Brush Socks Bottled Water
Food item (granola bars, crackers, etc. *check experation date) Shampoo
Deoderant A note or card of encouragement
***Keep a box of dog biscuits on hand to give to them if they have a pet with them.***
