Just gave a guy 10 bucks, asked him he wants something from the store. He wants gatorade. Got him 3 gatorades, a huge "reusable bag" from the store, and a whole thing of protein bars.

Came back later from my apartment building (he's still here) gave him - 5 pairs of socks - 2 packs wet wipes, in a baggy - toothbrush NEW, floss sticks NEW, tooth paste NEW in a baggy

Another 20. Don't know if he was finessing me or not for the 20 but the guy's homeless. Literally doesn't matter what he says as long as he gets the 20.

This helped me realize

When I give shit away then also incorporate ANTI FUNGAL FOOT POWDER

If I can afford it then also give away hand sanitizer but that might be out of my price range right now

🤲🏻 I was coming back from the store I had in my hands a box of wet wipes. I met Ronnie. Ronnie loves me cause I served him chicken nuggets. I passed him and realized I had the box of wet wipes in my hand. So I ran back to him and ripped open the box and gave him half of it

I did the charitable acts for Jerry (the 1st guy) with Chinese food in by bag. I was gonna go home and eat but I hooked him up then came back.

You know what my Chinese food said? The fortune cookie. I'm not even lying.

"You are only cheap to yourself, but never to others."

🐘 Most homeless won't have TEETH but you can offer them: - toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss sticks. Make sure it's all new and in a baggy. I buy freezer bags. These are nice sturdy bags that should last longer. Don't unwrap any of the items just put them in the freezer bag.

When you give homeless floss sticks educate them so they don't ruin their gums. AGAINST THE TOOTH, do not carve into your gum. Slide it against the side of the tooth.

• Socks, and what I now figured out on my own ANTI FUNGAL FOOT POWDER in a freezer bag

• Money. Some of them are on homeless pay some of them are not, and honestly, it will probably be spent on drugs. So it's up to you. I don't know what they spend the money on but some of them are on drugs some of them are not.

Jerry says that he's not on alcohol or drugs. So the guy is literally out there just in pain. YIKES!

• If I do buy them food, the best choice would be protein bars. As high a protein content as possible and so it can be stashed. But I buy them meals from restaurants, ready to go meals, etc. If they aren't hungry and you can't give them any food then anything with high protein they can stash like I said.

I make sure to give them as much protein as possible because that's pretty much the only valuable food.

• Their most valuable commodity, aside from new clean socks, is WET WIPES. Give them a pack of wet wipes in a freezer bag.

• If you can afford it then hit them up with the antibacterial hand rub (or what it's called) but those are getting price gouged right now. Additionally these people are homeless so they'll be dirty again in 2 seconds. I don't think personally investing here is worthwhile.

• In the winter hats and gloves

• I carry a lighter on me in a smaller plastic sandwich bag in case somebody needs a lighter

That should be about it.

The biggest thing you can give them is RESPECT, HUMANITY, LOVE, Make them feel for two seconds in their life that they're not "disgusting" and "crazy."

Treat homeless like you're talking to Bill Gates. Homeless / druggies love honesty. Don't lie to homeless. (Don't give them critical info about you) but don't lie to them. Be open with them. Watch your body language, your face, your tones, keep a smile, let them understand how much "better your day is" that you talked to them.

Their face will probably be twisted in pain and suffering and withdrawals when you see them. They can't properly express "gratitude" Understand that they feel what you've done for them and that is the reward.
