Did you know that hypothermia can begin when body temperature drops below just 95°F, even when it’s above freezing outside? In Austin, winter nights can turn dangerously cold, especially for those living without shelter.

It feels like just last month we were handing out cooling kits under the summer sun, but now it’s time to shift gears and prepare our winter first aid kits. These kits provide warmth, comfort, and basic medical care for our unhoused neighbors facing the elements.

Because Street Medics Austin is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we don’t pay sales tax on these supplies, and thanks to some amazing partnerships and bulk purchasing discounts, we’ve been able to drive the cost of each fully stocked kit down to just $5.25.

That means a $21 donation equips four people with essential winter first aid and warmth which is an incredible impact for just the cost of a coffee run.

Each Winter Kit Includes:

Sting relief wipes
Purell hand sanitizer wipes
Metal tweezers for splinters and scorpion stings
Bacitracin and hydrocortisone packets
Mylar blanket (for warmth and wind protection)
HotHands body warmers
4x4 island dressing for wound covering
Benzalkonium antiseptic towelettes
ReadyBath full body cleaning wipes
Narcan (containing two doses)
Sanitary Pads
Nail clippers
Sunscreen
Toothbrush and toothpaste
N95 mask
Warm socks
Electrolyte packets
Gauze rolls and assorted gauze pads/sponges
Alcohol prep pads
Hand and Body Lotion
Plastic Poncho
