Warm Hands Warm Hearts Winter Apparel Drive - Virtual Opportunity

Save to Favorites

This is a great virtual opportunity too. As another Boston winter approaches, our neighbors struggling with homelessness are especially at risk. You can help reduce the danger to those on the streets through our Warm Hands Warm Hearts Winter Apparel Drive.

By participating in Warm Hands Warm Hearts you will not only help keep our community's most vulnerable citizens warm, safe and healthy this winter, but you will also help maintain their dignity and comfort during this most difficult time of year.

To participate, all you need to do is donate at least one brand-new (or very gently used) winter hat, scarf, pair of gloves, mittens or pair of socks. It's a simple and inexpensive way to make a lasting impact for the homeless women and men in our community.

To get started, just download this flyer here and share with those you'd like to participate: https://fobh.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Warm-Hands-Warm-Hearts-Flyer-2023.pdf

You can drop off 24/7 at the Woods Mullen Women's Shelter, 794 Massachusetts Avenue, right in the South End. You can also box them up and mail them, or place orders online, and have them sent to Attn: Dwayne Brown, Southampton Shelter, 112 Southampton Street, Boston, MA 02118.

PLEASE DO NOT DROP OFF AT 12 WISE STREET. Keep our community housing programs residents healthy, we continue working remotely and there is no place to leave packages if we aren't there. Thank you!

Friends of Boston's Homeless supports Boston's Woods Mullen Women's Shelter and Southampton Men's Shelter (formerly Long Island Shelter). These shelters serve over 800 of our vulnerable neighbors experiencing homelessness every day (about 70% of those served are men and 30% women). The shelters provide safe dignified care and basic emergency services including, a nutritious meal, hot shower, clean bed as well as clothing and toiletries to each and every person in need.
