Wanting to put together some backpacks filled with cold weather stuff like hats gloves and a thrifted puff jacket to hand out to the Homeless in my area, what are some other inexpensive items you would recommend I put in them?

Socks, granola bars, fruit snacks, snickers, wipes, hand warmers, maybe refillable water bottles?
Hadn’t thought of wipes, thats a good addition!
There are regular wipes (like unscented baby wipes), but you can also buy more heavy duty wipes that are designed (marketed) for cleaning yourself. Just search like “no rinse sponge bath wipes” or “body wipes” and you’ll see what I mean. Might be a good idea to include both. You could probably clean your hands off with 1-2 smaller wipes and not have to use up one of the larger ones each time. Just my thoughts. Love what you’re doing!
refillable water bottles are good if there’s a local way to refill them from a clean source.
Our subway system has water fountains at alot of the stations, was gonna try and include one filled with individual flavor packets.
Flavor packets sound nice but could introduce unforeseen issues for those with dietary constraints. But that’s your choice.
