1. A decent meal.

I've been homeless once.

A decent meal wasn't easy to come by.

2. Sleeping bag, sleep pad/bedroll, sweater, socks, gloves, hat.

Gift certificate for fast food -- hey, it's crap... but survival rations are survival rations.

If they have a substance abuse problem, GC's at grocery stores are not necessarily a good idea
unless they specifically exclude alcoholic beverages.

3. I know some churches

Do a thing where people can buy stuff for the homeless shelter. I am sure a lot of organizations do it too, not just churches.

I have heard a lot of people who are homeless have mental illness. The medicine is expensive. My wifes brother has schizophrenia. The medicine, i was told, is a couple hundred per script. Without a job and healthcare, they cant afford their medicine. But without the medicine, they cant get a job that will provide them with health insurance.


What should they get for christmas......single payer health care would be, probably, a pretty nice present.
