The smart thing to do would have been to contact the homeless shelter first and ask specifically what kind of supplies they need and what they are allowed to accept. For example, homeless charities often end up with an excess of basic shit like toothpaste because that's one of the first things people think to donate. But then they end up with major shortages of feminine hygiene products - pads, tampons, etc. - because that shit isn't thought of often. Plus, I feel like they aren't going to want to take donations of random over-the-counter medicines.
