Warm Winters

A littler tardy, but wanted to say kudos to our volunteers Ally J. and Alexis T. whose efforts supported the Point in Time Count done in El Dorado County and in particular Housing El Dorado on February 23. They provided deodarant, socks, toothbrushes, toothpastes, hand lotion, and blankets to the care packages provides to those who were met during that night's event. Pictured here is Wanda D., Housing El Dorado Board Member, picking up the donation.

Pandemic impacting Warm Winters efforts? Nothing a mask and an open air, social distanced hand off can't solve.

New coats from volunteer Alexis T's drive with the Heritage Community, coats and pants from the Unofficial Kirkwood Community and Positively Kirkwood community, and tons of new fleeces from Ponderosa FFA via Tahoe Regional Manager Ally J. were delivered to the EDC Community Hub 5 coordinator for distribution to South Lake Tahoe children in need.

Volunteers, Alexis T. And Allyson J., are grateful to our supporters who have helped secure a storage unit to hold a bubble in inventory thanks to some incredible drives with local organizations ranging from members of Unofficial Kirkwood Community, Positively Kirkwood, Heritage community, Ponderosa FFA , and Rescue Up n' Comin' 4-H. Pieces are being moved out to those in need in their community as quickly as COVID19 and partner protocols allow. Thank you!

The pandemic has created opportunities for new partnerships, including this amazingly successful drive our Warm Winters volunteer, Alexis T., just wrapped up with Heritage, a local active adult community. Everything has been sorted and is ready to redistribute back out to those in need in her community.
