"Kits" to give the homeless

So I've decided that starting this summer I want to make small kits and have them available to donate to homeless people I see sometimes.  On my way to or from work, I sometimes see people standing on the corner with little cardboard signs.  I just feel as though this will be a good way for me to give more back.

I've been looking up ideas on Google, but if you have any ideas-especially for any little "luxuries" that might be nice to include.  I have the basics down, but I would like to include a little extra comfort items in the bags/kits.

I would love suggestions!  Thanks!

Hair Donation

On Tuesday of this week, I went and got my hair cut-I got 10 inches cut off-the minimum in order to donate.  It felt so good!  I have a LOT of hair-people are always telling me. So I thought I would share one of the gifts God gave me with someone who needs it.  My hair is now about shoulder length, and I'll be growing it out again; but this will be nice for summer-with all the humidity-my hair gets very heavy. 

So for now, I'm growing it out again, and I'm gonna donate it again when it gets long enough.

The girl had to put my hair into two ponytails-rather than just one-because she couldn't cut through all my hair if it was in just one. 

But I just wanted to share this experience with all of you-because it was so rewarding to me.  And to the little girl who was with her mom-I hope it helped show her that giving back is important.
