What to include in homeless helper bags, or "blessing bags" - more about what NOT to include! forgo the hand sanitizer and mouthwash (they have alcohol) and include lotion and baby wipes instead of soap and shampoo. Non-perishable foods like apple sauce, pudding cups, or protein bars and shakes are better than crunchy or sticky foods (though beef jerky is very popular). Give a gift card instead of cash, and a travel mug will get them discounts at the gas station.
