One for drinking and one for cleaning up a bit or whatever they want, food coupons or free food coupons from fastfood places, toiletries from hotels including soap, hand towel (not from the hotel...no stealing), shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush and toothpaste and a business card with nearby places to receive assistance. Also, I would put in a simple Christian booklet and would write on the back "just trying to show God's love for you in a practical way." Also, nonperishable food. Never give cash. When my job necessitated that I travel a lot, I would keep them in my car and hand them out to the homeless people that I saw. I also usually include two bottles of water.

I told my husband that we should put together a care package for him. Then the weather turned cold and we never saw him again because we moved. Thanks for the reminder that I'll be going that way this weekend and should put together some stuff for he and his doggy.
