Food: Single-serve snacks, shelf-stable foods, and easy-to-prepare meals.
Hygiene essentials: Shampoo, soap, deodorant, and feminine hygiene products.
Basic necessities: Socks, blankets, and cold-weather essentials.

A purple and white calendar for National Homeless Youth Awareness Month in November 2026 is set against a background featuring stylized house icons and the Dallas Independent School District logo.
