Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection that can often be caused by unsafe drinking water, poor hygiene and sanitation. Cities that have had Hepatitis A outbreaks — including Los Angeles — may be more inclined to pass laws banning feeding the homeless.

Q. What do people put in blessing bags?
Thoughtful items to use when filling your blessing bags:
- Toiletries: Deodorant, toothbrushes, razors, soap, shampoo, shaving cream.
- Cold weather essentials: Hand warmers, socks, scarves, gloves, chapstick.
- Food/drinks: Bottled water, Gatorade, granola bars, trail mix, tuna/cracker packs, beef jerky, other non-perishables.
Q. Can I cook food for the homeless?
Volunteer to help cook and serve a meal at a homeless shelter. Few service projects do as much immediate good or offer such a meaningful, personal experience as volunteering to prepare and serve a meal to people in need.
Q. How do you feed a homeless person?
The most polite way to offer someone homeless food is to go to the nearest restaurant and buy two bags of food plus what you would like, sit next to them and tell them you thought they would like some company.
Q. What do you put in a homeless sack lunch?
REQUIREMENTS: Sack lunches should consist of…
- Ham, turkey, or beef sandwich with light mayo/mustard (To be cautious of nut allergies, we request no peanut butter and jelly sandwiches please)
- 2+ side snacks (chips, fruit, granola bars, cheese, etc)
Q. What can I cook for the homeless?
Chicken & Shells is one of many simple meals for homeless people that you can donate to your local shelter. Use some leftover chicken, a box of pasta along with a few other ingredients and help feed a stranger. Our culture of excess makes it easy forget those who have the exact opposite experience in their lives.
Q. How do you make a homeless sandwich?
Assemble sandwiches: one slice of meat and cheese between two slices of bread (or whatever the shelter specifies). Place each sandwich in an individual bag. Put bagged sandwiches back into the bread bags and label the bag with the kind of sandwiches and the date they were made. Deliver the sandwiches.
