Our hearts are filled with gratitude! This is our fifth year partnering with Gather to share the warmth with food-insecure families. As the wintry weather rushes in, inflation and expenses continue to rise, and the need has never been greater. However, the kindness of our community powered through as donors contributed new warm winter items and/or their time and effort to sort, prepare, and distribute over 2,000 warm winter hats, mittens, gloves, scarves, and socks to Gather clients.
"I cannot thank you enough for being part of this year's Thanksgiving Distribution and the continued support of the Alliance for Greater Good. Distributing your Share the Warmth items was much appreciated, especially by everyone who came by on a particularly cold and rainy day." -Kate Constantine, Community Engagement Manager, Gather
We are grateful for every single person who contributed to Share the Warmth. We are especially touched by the kindness of our many superstars. We extend special thanks to Cheri at Seacoast YMCA who rallied Y members to fill a donation bin 4 times to overflowing!
We love the care and kindness shown by our Portsmouth Senior Activity Center knitters who tirelessly created lovely and warm children's winter hats and are always grateful for Nicole’s wonderful willingness to support Share the Warmth at PSAC.
We appreciate the abundance of warm fleece socks donated by My Breast Cancer Support, and we’re so grateful for our amazing friends at Ocean State Job Lot. With money from our generous Share the Warmth donors, a $200 gift certificate from Katie at Ocean State Portsmouth and a discount from Ocean State Stratham, we shopped with our rock star Sue, bought and donated 30 winter coats for veterans and purchased 368 warm winter hats and gloves for Gather families!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our amazing volunteers for sorting over 2,000 items and for braving the cold, rainy weather to support Gather families. We also appreciate you for making a meaningful difference by sharing warmth with neighbors in need.
