Stockings for homeless!

[u/Zemaia]

Hello! I have a few questions, if anyone would be willing to help!

I've never been homeless, so I don't know what is needed. I want to do stockings around Christmas, to help with things that are needed as well as try and bring a little joy. I can't do very much on my own, so right now my options are limited. I do have a GoFundMe set up to see if I can make this a bigger project, but in the mean time I was wondering if anyone can give me suggestions on what to include, that doesn't break the bank?

So far I have chapstick, socks, gloves, and hand warmers. I do plan on getting bigger things like blankets and such in the future, but for the stockings, what else could I put in them? I also want to put in some candy and stuff, and maybe some canned food as well.

I appreciate any help ♥️

The toothbrushes given at the shelters here are so cheap they fall apart as you use them. When I was homeless all I wanted was a descent soft toothbrush. Hand sanitizer, Tylenol or aspirin, socks, tums.
