How to Do It:
Go to a store and buy a few pairs of socks, travel-sized toiletries, or hygiene items like toothbrushes, soap, and deodorant. Pack them into a small bag and take them to a local homeless shelter. If you’re unsure where to donate, call a shelter or outreach program in your area and ask what they need most. Drop off the items with a kind word for the staff and know that your small effort will make a big difference.
Why It’s Powerful:
Socks and hygiene products are among the most requested items at homeless shelters, yet they are often overlooked in donations. A simple care package can help someone feel clean, comfortable, and valued.
