Today I will be wrapping up my annual jacket drive and will be hitting the streets shortly to hand out these jackets and blankets. I appreciate all the support you guys give me and I was equally impressed at the number of guys who simply wanted to donate their old coat or blanket even though they didn’t have the time, money, or maybe interest in a session with me … lol.
This year I gathered 23 jackets over a 8 week period and 11 blankets. That means tonight 34 people are going to have a small layer of warmth that many of us take for granted every night.
While my jacket drive is coming to a close, I would strongly encourage anyone with a extra jacket or blanket to get out and donate it; don’t bring it to a shelter or a resale shop, give it to the homeless guy or gal that you see everyday in your area of town.
Or you can always take a drive down by Pappa’s BBQ downtown and give it to one of the 100’s of Houstonians who calls the concrete under the Pierce Elevated their “home”.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
