Winter Homeless Care Package

Winter is officially upon us
Out comes the sweaters, the scarves, the coats and maybe some hot coco BUT for some these basic needs are a luxury.

Washington D.C was surveyed to have over 11,000  people without permanent shelter last winter. Of those, over 1,000 homeless are sleeping outside in the Washington D.C. region on a given day. They are sleeping out in freezing temperatures dropping to below 20 degrees. 

But we can do something about this homeless crisis within our own community!

We are a group of Georgetown Students who are raising funds to buy the following items below to distrubute to the homeless community around Washington D.C. 

With your help we will be buying: 
-Gloves
-Scarves
-Socks
-Blankets
-Hats
-Hand Warmers
-Lip Balm 
-Re-usable bags 
-Hygiene items
-etc. 

Where will we be distributing the care packages?
-Foggybottom Metro 
-Dupont Metro 
-Faraguet West Metro 
-Franklin Square Park 
-M street 
- Between the Watergate and Whitehurst Freeway
-Near 26th and K street 

***Additional funds will be given to homeless shelters in the DC/MD/VA area***
