It’s okay to slip it out your window to someone on a street corner or freeway ramp. But consider taking time to park the car and hand-deliver it.
This person probably gets ignored by hundreds of people every day. It shows that the person matters.
It’s your decision, of course, but we generally discourage giving cash. Instead, ask what their immediate need is and consider how you can help. Buy them a meal? A bus ticket?
Some people won’t want to talk, so be sensitive. Others will be delighted to tell you their story.
Pray. Before you go, while you go, for the people you encounter. Ask the person if they would like you to pray for them right there.
Ask if the person knows about nearby meals, shelter, restrooms and other emergency services available. Be wise. The majority of homeless men and women are not dangerous — they’re people just like you. But it’s smart to go out as a group when handing out Care Kits.
Share your story of handing out Blessing bags with others also, in your social media outlets
