 @12e2f193 awesome!
Do you recommend any other items for certain seasons?

I ask because all the things kept in my car will be frozen here in Minnesota, soon.

 @e56128fd I can’t say for sure, but I can tell you how I picked what I picked. 
I wanted to give people disposable items that’ll help their comfort. I’ve seen a lot different of lists of suggested items - if I start to regularly see women, I’ll add some pads and extra wipes. If it rains and somebody doesn’t have a poncho, maybe I’ll keep some extra ponchos and Mylar blankets in my glove box. When it gets colder I’ll add a pair of socks. 
Food is a popular suggestion, but I’ve got bad food allergies and I wouldn’t be able to eat almost anything someone randomly offered, so I give cash too. 
And maybe I’ll get to know these people a little better and be able to give them specifics. I’m anxious and covid-paranoid but most of all I’m face-blind - but I’m getting to recognize a few dudes. 
I don’t know what out of that will help you, but that’s my basic principles!
