Hello!
This a note from the DOvall Club letting you know about our next service project. We will be collecting hand warmers for the Congregation for Every 1 charity. We will be collecting these items starting Wednesday, February 5th through Tuesday, February 14th.
( https://www.coe1.org/ ) This is the link to their page and below is information about this Detroit based charity.
“Founded in November of 2013 by Jeff & Mary Hocking, the COE is made up of a group of volunteers who have come together in order to better serve the homeless population of metro Detroit and surrounding areas. We are 100% privately funded. As Federal Funding for homeless outreach has dried up over the last few years, we are one of the only homeless outreach programs left in Detroit. In a world of nonprofits that operate like corporations, the COE is a true volunteer only owned and operated charity. Since 2013 the COE has been providing 200 Survival Packs to the homeless on the streets of metro-Detroit every single month. We pack school-style backpacks with basic supplies needed to live on the streets; warm socks, winter hats, ski gloves, scarves, compact blankets, underwear, along with hand warmers, toiletries, toilet paper, lip balm and lots of non perishable food items. We do not set up a table in a park downtown and wait for the homeless to find us, we’re pro-active and spend hours seeking the homeless out wherever they are in the city.”
Here are some links to sites that sell hand warmers in bulk…
We would like to thank you for any donations of hand warmers to support this wonderful charity!
