We recently delivered goody bags to nearby homeless shelters, for Christmas.

After passing out the bags, Christmas cards, and giant candy canes, we asked the person in charge what else could we do. He told us there is a desperate need for personal hygiene items and warm blankets.

Our small family ministry tries to help people in numerous ways, but we will definitely help even more (and that’s our heart’s desire) if we have additional funding.

We’ve decided to make toiletry bags. Do keep in mind that these toiletry items need to be travel size, or small.  The homeless are usually always on the go and can’t carry large bottles or heavy items around with them.

Below is a list of things we plan on providing. We’ll be making individual bags to give away.

Toiletry Bags

• deodorant/antiperspirant
• toothpaste
• toothbrushes
• soap
• wipes
• hand sanitizer
• chap stick
• hair brush/comb
• waterless shampoo
• Kleenex
• big zip lock bags (to put the above items in)

We Also Want to Provide:

• warm hats
• scarves

Fulfilling these needs are merely scratching the surface. Our ultimate desire is to help these people get off the street permanently and see them in their own homes, living life as they should be. That’s the reason we’re also on a Mission for Momma’s Houses.
