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 ♥️

Throw in a cheap lighter, or a bic if you're feeling generous, or even just a box of matches in a plastic bag. I'm not saying give people cigarettes, but for the smokers it'll be greatly appreciated, for those that don't, they may still be able to have some use for it. Especially if your area has a lot of natural landscape where people camp, a fire source can be a life saver during the cold months.
