With the expansion of Hygiene Kits (masks & hand sanitizer), Female Hygiene items, and a winter clothes (socks, gloves, beanie), our goal is to raise enough for 300 people to receive these essentials for the winter! These items will be packed and distributed by our volunteers in Austin on December 13th, 2020.
Working with local Austin organizations, we’re funding, organizing, and collaborating the packing of 300 winter packages for the local Austin homeless population. Started by Usama Malik 5 years ago, this project started off as a classic blanket fundraiser for the homeless. With a little Salaam Sauce, we’ve brought in Humanity First and Austin’s Bright Future to expand the project into a full fledged Warm Winter Drive by including other items along with the blankets.
Come volunteer with us as we organize, pack, and distribute supplies throughout central Austin! Packing will start at 11 AM and distribution will start at 12:30 AM! Meet at Pease District Park to help us with this amazing project while we observe social distancing protocols and provide PPE for our awesome volunteers!
