    FOOD

    • Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
    • grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
    • different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
    • some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit


    SHELTER

    • Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
    • sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
    • Some churches offer short term residence
    • Find your nearest homeless shelter
    • Look for places that are open to the public
    • A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry


    HYGIENE

    • A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
    • Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
    • Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
    • Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
    • Local beaches, go for a quick swim
    • Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
    • Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
    • Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
