In Washington, DC our
average winter temperature is 41.5°F. Nearly 580,000 experience homelessness on a nightly basis in America. According to the results of the annual Point-in-Time Count — a regional census of the
homeless population conducted every year on a single night in January — there were 6,904 homeless people in D.C. this year. In the cold winter temperatures these people have to worry about not only
frostbite, illness, hypothermia, and depression. As we turn up the thermostats in our houses we have to wonder what we can do to help. The answer could be right in the back of your closet.That old coat and winter
accessories just sitting there could be utilized by someone during the winter months. We collect items all year round. Please download and complete the clothes donation form, gather your items,
complete the form and send us an email once ready for pickup at ldavis@hrapinc.org.
