Homeless Bathing

The hygiene of the homeless is a sensitive issue to both the homeless and the non-homeless. This is probably the single most important factor that forces homeless to stay in shelters however horrible and unpleasant they may be. The unpleasant atmosphere of shelters is why so few people who volunteer to work in them continue to do so and why shelters keep the volunteers they do get separate from the homeless as much as possible.

How is one to keep themselves clean when the have no home?

Hand sanitizer is truly a modern miracle for the homeless. While it can't replace showering/bathing completely it can make the long stretches between bearable for the homeless and those around them. 

Hand sanitizing wipes  are useful to a point but not worth the extra cost because of the small size. A large bottle of hand sanitizer and some toilet paper is a more practical and cost effective solution.
