Donate Items to Support Our Wellness and Mutual Aid Care Kits

At Human of Impact, we believe in the power of community and mutual aid to support individuals experiencing homelessness, financial hardship, or mental health challenges.

In addition to fiscal donations, we greatly appreciate item donations for our wellness and care kits! These kits go to both children and adults in shelters and mutual aid networks, providing comfort, basic needs, and encouragement.

We gladly accept new and lightly used items, as we are able to put time into upcycling listed items to breathe new life into them. However, we kindly ask that you do not send dirty or broken items, as they cannot be used in our kits. 

We welcome donations of new or lightly used items such as:

  • Stationary & journals – Encourage reflection and self-expression.
  • Blankets – Provide warmth and comfort.
  • Water bottles – Help with hydration in any season.
  • Sleeping bags – Offer a portable and essential item for those in need.
  • Socks – Always in high demand and a simple comfort for both warmth and hygiene.
  • Soft snacks like granola bars, fruit snacks, or applesauce cups – Gentle on the teeth, perfect for those with limited access to dental care.
  • Crackers with peanut butter or cheese – A simple, nutritious snack.
  • Gift certificates to fast food restaurants – Allow recipients to enjoy a warm meal.
  • Hand wipes and pack of Kleenex – Help with cleanliness on the go.
  • Sunscreen, maxi pads and tampons, toothbrushes and toothpaste, nail clippers, Band-Aids, and Chapstick – Essential personal care items.
  • Combs or small brushes, mints, cough drops, or gum, and notes of encouragement – Small additions that bring care and kindness to someone’s day.
  • Sensory fidget toys – Provide comfort and distraction for individuals coping with anxiety or stress.

Tips for Care Kit Supplies:

  • Seasonal needs: In summer, add sunblock or frozen water bottles. For winter, include gloves, hats, or heat packs.
  • Fragrance caution: Pack fragranced items like soap, lotion, or deodorant separately from food items to prevent them from affecting the taste.
  • Snack preference: Choose soft snacks to be gentler on the teeth of recipients who may not have access to dental care.
  • Avoid alcohol-based items like mouthwash or hand sanitizer.

Your thoughtful donations help ensure that each kit meets practical needs while also providing comfort and care. We distribute these kits through shelters, community centers, and street outreach programs to ensure they reach those who need them the most.
