The harsh, bitter cold has hit Northwest Ohio.
Many of us only have to deal with the chilled-to-the-bone feeling briefly – while we walk from our cars to a building, shovel snow off our driveways, or wait outside school to pick up our children. But for many, the chilled-to-the-bone feeling is a long term or permanent one, as they battle the cold, fighting for survival on the streets.
We want to help provide some tools for survival…and we could use your help. Food For Thought is putting together “Survival Backpacks” which we will give away in January to our friends on the street. Each backpack will contain a blanket and some winter wear items.
We are currently collecting:
- Backpacks
- Blankets
- Hats
- Scarves
- Gloves
If you are able to donate any of these items, please call our office at 419.972.1338, or drop them off at our office, located inside New Harvest Christian Church, at 3540 Seaman Road. Please consider helping us keep someone warm this winter.
