Brookline Cares is a volunteer organization started by Brookline High School students.  We  are raising awareness and collecting donations to provide winter coats to people in need. The money raised by this GoFundMe will be used to purchase Empowerment Coats to give out to people in communities with high rates of COVID. These communities also have high rates of poverty and homelessness. Empowerment Coats are coats that convert into sleeping bags and can be used by people experiencing homelessness or people who do not have shelter. Visit the Empowerment Plan website for more information  here .

The Kraft Center team will distribute the coats to people in Revere, Chelsea, Lynn, Charlestown, and Everett through their mobile testing vans. Visit here for more information about the Community Health Vans that will be distributing the Empowerment Coats.  If you would like to help make a positive difference in the world we live in, then this is the perfect cause to donate to.

Brookline Cares was founded by: Ellery Nistler, Gabriel Benavidez, Timothy Lee, Eliot Arnold, Matthew Murphy, Marco Tchernychev, and Rowan Michaud
