Essential Supplies Offer Some Dignity This Winter

Have you noticed how cold it is at night. Ordinarily it would be a time to rejoice the much needed rainfall, and the crispness of the air but already the San Diego Winter Shelters for the homeless are full and many folks are left on the streets each night to fend off the cold in any way they can.  

Help us bring some basic dignity to our homeless neighbors this winter by making a tax deductible donation to Girls Think Tank using the "donate" button at the bottom of this page. For only $20 you can sponsor an entire backpack, stuffed with necessities to help keep someone warm, dry and healthy.

Here are just a few examples of what a $100 donation can purchase:

  • 25 backpacks ready to be stuffed with basic necessities or…
  • 30 sets of a hat, gloves and rain poncho or...
  • 30 micro-fleece blankets or…
  • 40 toiletry kits or…
  • 40 sets of socks and underwear
 

These supplies, plus those being collected by local schools, businesses and community members like you will be distributed among the 1000+ homeless people of the City of San Diego over the winter. Contact us at info@girlsthinktank.org for help setting up your own backpack supplies collection box. Thank you.
