Your willingness to give reminds us that small acts, when multiplied, create powerful impact. Thank you for showing up for our community in such a meaningful way.

This cold snap hit hard, and too many of our neighbors are facing freezing temps without the basics: a warm coat, a hat, gloves, anything to help them stay safe.
No one should battle winter alone — not in our city.

If you’ve been looking for a way to make a real impact, this is it.
