Spread the Warmth 2025

It is estimated that over 100,000 Chicagoans are homeless and struggle to survive the brutal cold every winter. It is a tragic problem, but one we can all help solve. To help those in need, we gather in January every year to spread our warmth throughout Chicagoland.

Spread the Warmth is an event held by the Tiesta Tea Foundation to provide everyday necessities to our fellow Chicagoans in need, such as food, warm clothing items, and toiletries.

Each dollar raised goes to purchasing these essential items. Our goal is to bring our "warmth kits" to thousands of people and to spread the love.

Please help us in our goal to give back to those in Chicagoland who do not have a home to go to each day.
