Getting Ready for a Little (g)love
As the temperature drops in Chicago, we are already seeing our patrons come into our food pantry and dignity diner with coats on. Which leads us to prepare for one of our major winter events: (g)love.
Preparations have well and begun and we're happy to report several bits of exciting news!
The Headwear Association, celebrating over 100 years of promoting hats and headwear awareness worldwide has pledged to donate hats to (g)love as part of their third annual Headwear for the Homeless holiday campaign. We are very excited to have their support and donation of headwear for the homeless of Chicago.
Additionally, CVS also has supported (g)love as they have pledged in-kind product through a gift card donation. We utilize CVS products such as hand sanitizer in every CarePack.
Our third bit of (g)love news for 2009/2010 season is that we have our first Handmade with (g)love hat. We have a goal this season of 200 handmade hats, and if you would like more information about handmade with (g)love, please click here.
While we hate to see summer go - we look forward to the start of (g)love and are thankful for the support and community engagement we've already seen preceding (g)love 2009/2010.
