New essentials
- Warm socks
- Toques, mittens and scarves
- Hand warmers
- Nut-free granola bars
- Toothbrushes, toothpaste and lip balm
Also welcome
- Winter coats, kids and adult sizes, new or clean and gently used
"The best of people are those who bring the most benefit to others." (Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, reported by al-Tabarani)
Don't have items to give?
Donate and we will purchase kits on your behalf.
Online gifts buy the coats, sizes and items we run short on, so every kit goes out complete.
Pledge
Tell us how you will help
Let us know what you plan to bring, or sign up to pack and deliver kits. It helps us see what is still needed.
