Homeless Care Kit Ideas!

Heart with Arrow emoji 21 items
The quote I live my life by is, “we're all just walking each other home.” I am a firm believer in the love and connection that exists between all humans. Despite being the richest country in the world, we have a heartbreakingly large amount of citizens who live on the streets. We don't know their stories, and it is not for us to judge. While we cannot save everyone, I think it's important to help when we can, who we can, and however we can. The items on this list are perfect for creating homeless care kits to pass out. You can go to homeless shelters, homeless encampments, or even just keep them in your car just in case. You definitely do not need to buy all of these items, but they serve as a few ideas to get you started!
