Help The Hand Up Hub keep the winter warm for others....
There are approx. 12000 homeless in Ohio according to the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio.
Help the Hand Up Hub with your donations.
Winter is one of the hardest times for the homeless.
Each year in the United States, about 1,330 people die of cold exposure, essentially freezing to death. Many times the homeless shelters are filled and the homeless have to find other places to sleep.
Help The Hand Up Hub keep them warm this winter by donating winter clothing such as hats, scarves, gloves coats and boots. Any donations will be gladly accepted.
Precautions to Reduce the Risks of Hypothermia*
-
Wear hats, mittens, gloves and clothing that create a static layer of warm air, provides a barrier against the wind, and keeps the body dry.
-
Keep and carry emergency supplies containing blankets, non-caffeinated fluids, high-energy food, and an extra supply of medications for chronic conditions readily available.
*These precautions are important for both homeless people and those who help them
