Last week on Giving Tuesday, we held our packing event for our Winter Clothing Drive. We are proud to announce that with the support of the community as well as the hard work of our Associate Board, we were able to serve over 100 individuals this Winter with essential items such as hats, gloves, coats, scarves, and blankets.
Along with the help of our Associate Board, this event was also successfully conducted through the assistance of the Unsheltered Housing Initiative (UHI), which helped navigate which items were most in demand, and how they would be distributed.
With over 20 volunteers helping us give back to the community until the very end of our clothing drive, this event served as a great representation of the desire to come together to support our community, and the impact that can be made by doing so. Whether you were someone that contributed through donation or volunteering, or you were an individual who received this assistance, we are happy to have you as part of our community and we hope that you continue with us as we strive to make homelessness history.
Thank you for our donors and volunteers for making this event possible!
