Wanting to put together some backpacks filled with cold weather stuff like hats gloves and a thrifted puff jacket to hand out to the Homeless in my area, what are some other inexpensive items you would recommend I put in them?

    +1 on the other commenter mentioning Hot Hands. They’re disposable and don’t last forever, but they’ll feel like a Godsend when you need them.

    I’d suggest some kind of blanket. Space blankets don’t provide a lot of insulation but are great for windbreaking which makes them a great top layer over a normal fleece blanket.

    I mentioned this in my other comment on one of your posts, but please consider including just a little bit of cash. Every person you meet will always have unique needs or wants that you can’t possibly be expected to account for. Even $5 can give them the agency to see to these specific needs on their own.

      Was gonna put a small visa gift card, but might just use cash for convince’s sake.
