Where and how to distribute "homeless kits"?

Sep 04, 2008 | candle kits

Homeless kits are to include:
Sleeping Bag, Hat, Socks, Water, Flashlights, Candles, Soap, Toothpaste, Toothbrush, Shampoo, Deodorant, Hairbrush, ready to eat foods, all contained in a sturdy back-pack.

I'm assuming you can't just go up to homeless people and hand them a backpack. Do you need to go through an organization to do this?

I can't see why you couldn't just walk up to a homeless and hand them a kit. Especially if you are located in a place with a known homeless area. The question you're asking doesn't make much sense, because it's like asking if you have to get a permit to give a quarter to a guy playing guitar on the street. Besides, most organizations like this began with one person who wanted to change the world, and that one person gave of themselves and made a charitable contribution in some way…

Congratulations on wanting to do something to make a difference in the life of another. This is one of the many ways that God calls upon us to walk in His light.

    Why don't you rent a pick up truck and put a bunch of those "homeless kits" in the back and drive around the city and give one away to every homeless person you see?
