Care Kits

Care Kits

Care Kits are a simple way to provide practical help to a homeless man or woman.

Have you ever thought of instead of giving money that may be used to buy alcohol or drugs to a homeless or street person, to hand them something they can use instead?

Something you may have wanted them to use the money for? How about a Care Kit that can provide practical help to a homeless man or woman.

Just take a gallon-size zipper lock plastic bags and fill them with items like the following or donate these to the Union Gospel Mission — we hand out Care Kits and hygiene bags to those coming to take a shower or getting clothes at our clothing banks.
