Help HN: Items for the homeless for Christmas
Got a big favour to ask of you! Our website GetInspired365.com dishes out daily doses of inspiration. However, we also want to try and inspire people on a wider scale. To this end, we are launching a Homeless Christmas Appeal. We're after people's spare old clothes, scarves, hats, umbrella's, books and anything else that could be of use to someone who is homeless.
Our hope is that people will send us their items and we are then going to gift wrap all of these items and put around five gifts into each Christmas sack, as well as a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, a list of housing shelters and a list of places that are cooking Christmas dinners. We will then be going out on Christmas Eve and handing out our Christmas Sacks to various homeless individuals in London.
We wondered if you'd consider sending us any stuff? Or, alternatively, if you'd consider doing something similar in your area. If you did do it locally then we'd love for you to film it and post it on our site. If you want to send us any items then please drop steve@getinspired365.com and we can give you our address and help with postage costs.
Any help you can give us would be great! Thanks!
