Everyone struggles with what to give and how to help the men and women at the stop light asking for food and money. I had a priest who once preached about having gift cards to hand out, but that can be very pricy for a family on a budget. On the other hand, I want to set a good example especially since my kiddos are always in the car with me.
That is when I read about this fabulous idea! Take some of your stockpile with you to give out for these special situations! I put together a bag of food and personal care items, but I struggled with knowing exactly what to put in. Here is what I ended up with:
- 1 Box of Rice Krispies
- 2 Fruit Bars
- 2 Sample Size of Wheat Thins
- 1 Bar of Soap
- 1 Deodorant
- 2 Bottles of Water
- 1 Travel Size Shampoo & Conditioner
I have a huge stockpile of food, but most of it requires some sort of cooking and/or other ingredients. I decided against using anything like this (ie. Stove Top, Potatoes, Canned Soup) just because it is hard to know what their situation is. All of the things I included I figured the person could use anywhere. I just did one bag for now, but will soon put together a couple just to keep in the car.
Now to put it in the car and wait!
