Its been a while but i did a homeless drop off today yay. The place looks like its expanded staff and is busy af which is nice. The oddest thing ive hoarded to donate is actually the ramen seasoning packets: i dont like the dehydrated veges and chili sachets but i read an article that says homeless ppl do. It feels...strange to hoard such a random thing but the shelter confirmed today they absolutely eat that shit up so 🤷♀️
Do you have a link for location drop off and what is needed? I want to look into this as well

I look for organisations that have good transparency, consistency, volunteers etc. This org has a number of locations and they do outcalls ie get in van driving around handing out care packages. Soap, feminine hygiene, body wash, bags of any shape and size are always taken. Atm food isnt. Every shelter has only so much storage so if you have a ton of stuff best to call them and check if they have space. They have good in person and phone service :)
Excellent thank you for the link I’m going to read it now
Oh I have a LOT of those
Give it to them! Better than going in the bin right
yeah they've just been sitting in a box. I'll bring them to my local homeless people and see if they want it.
