WARM CLOTHING - SOCKS & BLANKET DRIVE - 2022
When I asked Jenny Devoe, who is running her 5th ANNUAL - WARM CLOTHING - SOCKS & BLANKET DRIVE if there is anything I can share with you about her, and why she does this, her reply was “I do this because it helps my heart. I have always worked with charities and different agencies. I will never understand why some people have to suffer. It really helps my heart”
As we are aware, there are a large number of individuals and families in need this year. More so than ever. In order to help we are joining Jenny on her Warm Clothing, Socks, Jocks & Blanket winter drive.
New and used items (especially shoes and boots and personal items) are sent to Bridges for women and men on the streets who have nothing. She makes up bags that include deodorant, pads, razors, chapstick, and lotion. New and used Clothing are also sent to the Salvation Army for the many families in need. Household items including small appliances and linen sheets are given to those who may have received housing and have no startup items. Jenny goes out into the community and does street outreach. New toys are sent to the Salvation Army and she also creates bags for people who will be in treatment over the holidays and cannot get their child a gift or anyone who she knows needs gifts for a child or food for a pet.
Let's be the miracle in someone else's life this Christmas!
All items can be dropped off at 47 Wellington South, Cambridge or we can arrange a pick up in Waterloo Region. You can msg Cheryl at 519-722-2214 or email her at cheryl@unitykitchener.org. If you have any clothing or household items ... Jenny finds a home for everything. If you are one of our beloved members or friends outside the region, a love offering can be sent to office@unitykitchener.org and we will purchase, on your behalf, items that are desperately needed.
