OPERATION WARM HEARTS

PUBLIC PLEA OF URGENCY

DO YOU HAVE A BLANKET TO SPARE?

WARMING HOMELESS AND LOW INCOME HEARTS IN PHILADELPHIA FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Operation Warm Hearts is a volunteer grassroots organization seeking to collect and distribute 1701 or more blankets across the Philadelphia region. For Christmas and New Years Eve we will be doing a massive giveaway to homeless and low income families at various locations throughout the city.

PUBLIC PLEA OF URGENCY:
As you can see by the current weather conditions it will be a brutally cold winter. As housing and social service cuts increase and the economy deteriorates, it is determined across the country that there is somewhere between 200,000 and 500,000 Americans homeless. There are more than 5,000 people living on the streets, or currently in transition at any given time. Shelters and other housing facilities are at capacity. This includes only those who are in the shelters or on the streets. This does not include those who are in transitional housing, low-demand residences, or in substandard/unfit living conditions.

Operation Warm Hearts is looking to help those who cannot help themselves. We need your help. Donations are needed ASAP! We are accepting mildly used and new blankets, toiletries and new socks.

WANNA HELP OUT?
