What do you think should be included in a care package for the homeless? Please submit your suggestions and comments. I will begin giving them out in September to those in need in the greater New Orleans Area. Thanks!

hand sanitizer, colgate wisps, comb/brush, lotion, chapstick, canned food (or other ready to eat non-perishable foods such as granola bars, etc.), ponchos, undergarments… hope this helps with some ideas!
