Care Package for the
Homeless
By: Matthew Vargas
Why the need for care packages?
• The use of everyday necessities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant and most importantly food is often taken for granted.
Hygiene is a very important to maintain health and prevent diseases. Although you 'd be surprised of how many citizens within your community don’t have the fiancés to support basic needs. How to make a care package
• One of the best gifts you can give to the homeless is personal hygiene items and food to nourish their bodies. First begin by picking items to satisfy their basic needs.
Simple items like razors, shampoo, and deodorant are good starters.
As for food, granola bars, crackers, and trail mix are great.
Also add items such as thermal boots, gloves and scares in order to keep warm during harsh winters. Finally feeding someone’s soul is something that cost nothing, but has a significant impact. If you wish to add a prayer or words of encouragement to help them have a feeling of comfort.
Effects of care packages
• By donating even the littlest items to those less fortunate, you 'll be providing someone with a greater sense of selfworth. Simple accessories you may take for granted could be greatly appreciated by those who are less fortunate. Maybe your support will open a door that will give that person a change to get a job or give them a fresh start to a new life.
