Winter Clothing Drives Support the Homeless

Various organizations across the U.S. are mobilizing to provide winter clothing and supplies to those experiencing homelessness as the cold weather approaches. Sojourner House in Eau Claire is seeking donations of warm clothing and sleeping bags, and has set up an Amazon gift list for supporters to contribute directly. In Kingston, the London Fire Brigade is collecting coats for vulnerable populations through the Wrap Up London initiative, which distributes donations to various charities. Operation Wrap-Up in Wilson County is providing free winter gear while raising awareness about local poverty issues, including a resource fair for community support. The Gift of Warmth drive in the Rochester-Buffalo region is collecting hats and gloves, with drop-off locations at M&T Bank and Tops Friendly Markets. Additionally, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter is gathering winter supplies for unhoused individuals with pets through their Parkas for Pups campaign.
