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?

Socks, granola bars, fruit snacks, snickers, wipes, hand warmers, maybe refillable water bottles?
Hadn’t thought of wipes, thats a good addition!
There are regular wipes (like unscented baby wipes), but you can also buy more heavy duty wipes that are designed (marketed) for cleaning yourself. Just search like “no rinse sponge bath wipes” or “body wipes” and you’ll see what I mean. Might be a good idea to include both. You could probably clean your hands off with 1-2 smaller wipes and not have to use up one of the larger ones each time. Just my thoughts. Love what you’re doing!

what about nut / food allergies, and those things being high sugar low nutrient items — can that cause problems with malnourishment?
