Whether you are doing it because Christmas is the season of giving or out of willingness, homeless people are especially in dire need of your help during winter. The cold season is hard for them who could not even afford a decent meal.
Below is a checklist of items you should prioritize if you're thinking of endowing gifts to the less fortunate.
1. Winter gloves
West Chester 712SG Heavy Weight String Knit Poly Cotton Gloves
Aside from being forced to sleep outside, homeless people are probably working on a job that requires them to touch freezing objects or endure the freezing temperature. Imagine yourself shoveling ice so that the others can walk on the pavement comfortably.
Show your gratitude to them by giving them these durable winter gloves. A pack comes with 12 pairs, and extra pairs are highly appreciated.
2. Thermal stockings

Of course, do not forget about their feet, especially when most of them could barely afford socks or even a pair of winter boots. Made primarily from acrylic fabric, these socks can keep their feet warm throughout the winter while still feeling comfortable due to the soft material. And each pack comes with three pairs, so like the gloves, extra pairs are also appreciated.
3. Bonnet
Bonnet is also another important winter garment as it keeps your head and ears warm. This brand, we suggest, because it is designed specifically for people who are doing activity outdoor activities during the winter season, though anyone who stays outside a lot can use this well.
4. Emergency winter blanket
Science Purchase 73MYLARPK20 Emergency Mylar Thermal Blankets
Sometimes, the winter storm is just too intense that no amount of clothing or thermal source can ease the cold. Help homeless people by giving them an emergency winter blanket. This foil-like material traps body heat and keeps you warm on cold winter days.
5. Protein pack
Of course, every homeless person needs food, and whichever you choose from this list probably comes with food items. However, we highly encourage you to include a protein bar. We all know that protein is an essential nutrient needed by the body. Protein bars are especially good for them since they do not spoil quickly, like common protein sources, and as a bonus, it also tastes like dessert.
6. Tampons
Tampax Tampons Regular Absorbency Unscented
Being homeless will not stop a woman from having menstruation. Unfortunately, access to free tampons is not common in the United States. Help these unfortunate women by allowing them to maintain menstrual hygiene humanely.
7. Laundry soap sheets
Aside from personal hygiene, homeless people also need to wash their clothes. This one is often used by travelers, but homeless people need it too since their luggage probably do not have space for detergent bottles.
