Summer Homeless Survival Kit
Donation protected
Hello All,
For those who have lived in DC or any other major city, you know exactly what it is like to pass someone who is homeless on the street. For me, it's a hard thing to do daily. Everyday, I take a 20 minute train ride from the suburbs outside of DC into the city to go to work. When I get off the train, I walk through a small idyllic park but the park is filled with homeless men and women: they eat there, sleep there, and shower there (yep with rain water). Sometimes I hand out hellos and good mornings, sometimes I hand out bananas. I wish I could do more. So after seeing a friend do this in Atlanta, I thought, why can't we do this in DC?!?
My plan:
I want to hand out summertime Homeless Survival Kits on July 19th to all of the Homeless Men & Women in McPherson Square. The kit will include: socks, lip balm, deodorant, wet wipes, toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash, soap, Vaseline/lotion, hand sanitizer, brush/comb, water bottle, feminine products, rain poncho, energy bar/trail mix. I want to hand out about 30 kits.
I'm asking for your help. $10 will make half a kit and $20 will make a whole kit. I'm hoping that you can help me with a small donation and even some time to come out to McPherson Square on July 19th at 9am. I hope you are able to be involved.
Thank you so much! Be blessed.

Ps. Feel free to forward this along, just because you're not in DC doesn't mean you can't donate to help someone else out. Pay it forward.
