4. Shoes – A good and durable pair of boots or tennis shoes would be an invaluable gift to a homeless person. I know we all take this simple luxury for granted when I see how
many homeless people walk. I honestly do not know if it is from poor nutrition or a harsh environment, but I often notice many homeless people seem to have foot problems. It almost seems like their feet hurt them when they walk. Some even have a pronounced limp.
5. First Aid Kit – This is a simple and lightweight item that would help any homeless person. You can buy great first aid kits for rout $10 at almost any drugstore. This simple gift would be priceless to a homeless person. I would not go for a bulky fist aid kit because they will have to carry it around with them. Look for something small that would fit into a pocket or a bag.
6. Shaving Kit – I use shaving kit loosely. Basically any toiletries that might be handy. From handy wipes to simple tissues are all very useful.
7. Tooth brush and tooth paste – This is a simple and very affordable gift anyone can easily afford to give to a homeless person.
8. Sunglasses – This is a very simple and useful gift. Many homeless people are exposed to a variety of environmental elements. Something as simple as sunglasses can make life little easier.
9. Pre-paid food cards – At almost any fast food restaurant you can buy prepaid cards that would make a great gift for a homeless person. This would give them the opportunity to buy food, as they need it.
10. Stationary – Ok, I don’t mean some stationary with fancy letterhead and their name on it. I mean what about a small bag filled with writing paper, a few pens, and even some pre stamped envelopes. You never know who a homeless person may wish they could get in contact with. Long lost family that they have been estranged from is probably a huge part of many home less people’s lives.
I know a lot of these items a homeless person could go to a food bank or homeless shelter for, but sometimes just handing the gift of food, money or clothing is far more personal then dropping off a box of stuff.
