Hygiene kits:

These are a great project for groups or families to put together as they require little time and money.

Hygiene kits consist of things like travel sized shampoo and lotion, soap, a washcloth, a comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, a pair of socks, etc. that are all placed in a gallon-sized ziplock bag and handed out to people living on the streets.
