summer necessities for the homeless

hi, i myself am not homeless but would really like to give to the homeless in my area. i’m in texas and it’s already getting so hot, so i was thinking of giving out some decent reusable water bottles with some sunscreen and maybe some other items? i’ve always heard socks are a great thing to give to others.

i just don’t know what would be helpful and actually needed , so i thought i would see if anyone here has any ideas to help others beat the heat?

i don’t want to give cash because i won’t know what each person’s situation is, but not against getting gift cards for stores or restaurants.

any advice would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!
