Why We Give
Bus Passes
The recipients of the bags over the years have expressed how important bus passes are to them. When you have no transportation, an all-day bus pass is priceless. Recipients have reported using the passes to get to doctor’s appointments and to visit family they would otherwise not see. If the Labre Society could only provide one item, it would be bus passes. All gift bags contain 2 all-day bus passes.
Socks
A successful businessman in Fort Worth once donated a case of socks to a local restaurant which serves Christmas dinner to the homeless. He expressed his desire that all dinners be accompanied by a pair of white cotton socks. The reason, he explained, was because he had once been homeless and remembered his biggest need was for a pair of clean, dry socks, as he had to walk everywhere he went. All gift bags from the Labre Society contain 2 pair of white cotton socks.
Ziplock Bags
A local agency which serves the homeless was asked what it saw as the biggest need of those living on the streets. The answer was large ziplock bags, used by the homeless to keep paperwork and clothing dry. All gift bags contain 2 one-gallon ziplock bags.
