Dear Friends,
When the COVID-19 crisis erupted, Circle of Hope immediately pivoted toward disease prevention to protect the lives of vulnerable children, women, and men who are homeless. Since March, we have provided more than 60,000 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE), hygiene essentials, and new clothing to homeless families and individuals. Our efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 in homeless shelters and healthcare clinics are working.
“It's amazing to see that your organization is still making these essential deliveries during this time. It truly means a lot," said a staff member at On The Rise.
It’s getting colder now, and the need for winter coats and clothing is growing as families lose work due to COVID-19. The family shelters we serve cannot accept gently used clothing or coats this winter. Last year, we gave 5,500 winter coats to children and adults experiencing homelessness, helping protect them from frostbite and hypothermia. In order to provide the same number of winter coats this year, we desperately need your help to buy new coats for the vulnerable families we serve.
Can you help us protect homeless families and individuals from COVID-19 and cold this winter?
Please donate to our Annual Campaign by December 31, 2020 to protect the lives of our most vulnerable neighbors throughout this crisis and beyond. Your donation will directly allow us to supply homeless families with the new coats, warm clothing, face masks, soap, and hygiene supplies they need to keep themselves and their children safe and healthy.
Thank you for your incredible continued support. Our COVID-19 response is literally saving lives and we couldn’t do it without you.
Most gratefully,
Barbara Waterhouse
Founder, Executive Director
