We have had a great response to our Sleeping Bag and Blanket Drive for the Homeless but I have have extended the deadline to Dec. 8th so we can get our final purchases in and delivered directly to the Sisters. We still have 4 more Sleeping bags and 1 more pack of blankets available to purchase. Help us meet our goal. We can use our remaining budget for this project to buy hats. gloves and scarfs for the homeless as we can already feel it is gong to be cold winter.
This project provides sleeping bags and blankets for the 100 homeless people living in a tent city under Chicago's expressway. These people have been adopted by the Fraternite Notre Dame Sisters who run the bakery in Wilmette and have their Mother Home in Chicago. They have worked in Chicago's poorest neighborhoods for many years helping the homeless to survive. We annually coordinate with them to provide what they tell us are the needs of these homeless individuals.
Thanks to everyone who has bought so far. Items can be purchased HERE with direct shipment to Fraternite Notre Dame.
