Homeless survival packs for Homeless People

Homeless survival packs for Homeless People

We make Homeless Survival Kits as part of a Life List goal to do the veteransproject and to assist all homeless people with the project together we can ,make a difference. It surprised me by becoming an easy way for ,for people to ask me questions, so I wrote about that over here: @ http://josephfreedomoranarchy.blogspot.com/2016/02/a-spending-plan-for-homeless-people.html
Talking to My Kid About Homelessness Without Giving Him Nightmares. This is something that has come up a lot in our country and will continue and in Cali where we are based, where we have a lot of folks on the streets.

We do give money to our local food bank, but I’d like to have something on me to offer when people ask for help, so people don't get the message that you can be indifferent to people in trouble. I did a little research on what to put in our kits, and we ended up using:

Hiking bag or backpack
Gallon-sized, rainproof ziplock bags
Disposable razors
Lip balm
Travel deodorant
Body wash
Bandaids
Folding travel toothbrushes
Travel toothpaste
Ibuprofen
Wet wipes
Kind bars (softer to chew than granola)
crackers
Writing pen and pad
pencil
and light Backpack

More items to consider:

Water bottles
Bus passes
Combs
Tampons
Hand warmers
Shaving cream
Socks/gloves
Cheese or peanut butter crackers
Applesauce
Pudding
Vienna sausages with pull off lids
Plastic forks and spoons
Additional ziplock bags to keep belongings dry
A poncho for wet weather

We are modifying this pack with each issue we face that the Homeless need to overcome


Also, some nice things to consider generally:

Softer food is easier for people to chew if their teeth are hurting. Homeless people don’t have access to dentists or often anyway to keep their teeth in shape, so consider that when you’re choosing food.

Hydration can be a big problem when you don’t have a house. If you’re offering food, try to offer a drink as well.

Take your leftovers, and request plastic silverware. If you live in a big city, never turn down your leftovers when you can hand them to someone within a few feet of the door, or leave them on top of the nearest bench or post box for someone to find. I told a waiter I was leaving the rest of my dinner out, and he taped silverware and a napkin to the top. Genius! So now I request one if the place seems to offer takeout. Also, I like to write the date and time on the box if I have a pen.

If you have any simple habits you’ve adopted to help out the homeless people in your community, or any advice to offer if you’ve been homeless yourself, please let us know in comments. May god bless us all and our country, team!

Help ease their burden. Just $25 helps provide homeless survival packs
