Socks are the least donated item and most needed item for the homeless. We will gladly accept socks to give to the homeless

This is what I put in “Blessing Bags” for the Homeless. Sometimes I’ll add more to the bags it depends on what season it is. That is what I put in the Blessing Bags, I put a lot more in the actual Backpacks I hand out to the homeless. I will give you a list below. 

This is another example of the Homeless Care Bags I have put together
