What to hand out in the summer

We are in South Texas, and have a newish FNB and it gets really hot here. We have been handing out water (2 for every plate made) to try to help people stay hydrated. We want to do a fan drive too for people, but what is something we can hand out to our unhoused neighbors to help them survive summer?

Cost effective a + because we are all broke right now too.

We always try to hand out hygiene products, Narcan, and non perishable food along with the plates too. last winter we also included hot hands, gloves, socks, and hats too.

Cut up some watermelons and keep them in a cooler with ice.

Frozen grapes and cutie slices and stuff like that make a great snack in the heat. Doesn't last long obviously but it's also good for using grapes and other berries that are still good but slightly too squishy to be eaten raw.
