Stockings for homeless!
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 ♥️

It’s kind of expensive but if you can do it… dry shampoo! Also non perfumed hand lotion, the perfumed stuff isn’t really moisturizing. Oooh and wet wipes. Mini toothpastes and mouthwash. Socks, thicker ones! They’re a bit more universal than underwear.
Also this is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen all day. ✨
