How many of us have extras of these things? I do, even after I donated three bagfuls last month. Can we collect one towel, blanket, pair of sneakers and winter wear (coats/gloves/hats) and give them away this week to a homeless person? Your neighbourhood shelter would welcome them.
If you don't have one/any of these can you purchase them new or get clean used ones at a thrift store and donate them?
Can you, fellow Kossacks, who never fail to astound me with your compassion and generosity take the pledge? I want to help those who need it. I just don't have the time. Today is when I will make the time.
Look around. Maybe you also have
a sleeping bag
heating pads for the fingers and toes
a little cash
a loaf of bread
a kind word.
I haven't even left the computer and look what I found:
One pair of sneakers each belonging to me and my better half. There are many who would appreciate them.
I'm donating whatever I think I need but am not using today. Join me if you can. HERE'S a list of homeless shelters in your area.
Let's all make the time.
