It is hard to overestimate how stressed the bottom ten percent of the population is. For these people tossing the kids old Power Ranger comforter into the car, refilling discarded soda bottles, and getting a few large deep-discount candles may be a major advance. I would rather see hundreds of families with few resources get a minimalist kit together than one or two assembling extensive kits.
I totally agree Art. Better is always better, but something is better than nothing. The easiest way to get someone to start thinking along these lines is to make it easy and cheap, especially when the family budget is tight. Organizing what you already have on hand can also be very empowering when you realize that you are more prepared than you thought.
