What's in the Holiday Gift Bag???

This winter, we are excited to announce our initiative to collect winter essentials to pass out to our community in downtown Louisville. Our goal is to create holiday gift bags filled with items that convey warmth and care. Below is a detailed list of items we are collecting, along with information on how each item will help those in need.

Items Needed for Holiday Gift Bags

• Coats & Jackets

  Warm outerwear is essential during the winter months. We are looking for gently used or new coats and jackets in various sizes to ensure everyone can stay warm.

• Blankets

  Blankets provide warmth and comfort. They can be used for sleeping outdoors or as an extra layer of warmth at home.

• Hats

  Warm hats help retain body heat and protect against cold winds. We welcome all styles, including beanies and knitted caps.

• Gloves

  Gloves are crucial for keeping hands warm. We are collecting both fingerless and full-finger gloves to accommodate different needs.

• Scarves

  Scarves can provide warmth around the neck and face. They are a versatile accessory that can be worn in various ways.

• Socks

  Warm, dry socks are essential for comfort. We are looking for new, thick socks to help keep feet warm during the cold weather.

• Lotion

  Winter can be harsh on the skin. We are collecting moisturizing lotions to help prevent dryness and maintain skin health.

• Hand Sanitizer

  To promote health and hygiene, we are collecting hand sanitizers to help keep our community safe during the cold and flu season.

• Wipes & Toilet Paper

  Personal hygiene items are essential. We are collecting wet wipes and toilet paper to ensure that everyone has access to basic sanitation needs.

• Cotton Balls

  Cotton balls can be used for personal care and hygiene. We are collecting them for various uses, including first aid and cosmetic needs.

• Soap/Body Wash

  Basic hygiene is important for everyone. We are collecting bars of soap and body wash to help individuals maintain cleanliness.

• Nail Clippers

  Nail clippers are a small but important hygiene item. We are collecting them to help individuals take care of their personal grooming.

• Candles or Candle Wax

  Candles can provide warmth and light. We are collecting them to help brighten the spirits of those in need during the long winter nights.

• Non-Perishable Food Items

  Food security is a critical issue. We are collecting non-perishable food items such as canned goods, pasta, and rice to support those who may be struggling to access meals.
