Join us in hitting the streets this Winter!
It’s that time of year again, the days are shorter and the nights are colder. Come on out and join us as we pound concrete in San Diego to get winter survival gear and baby bags out to our city’s homeless community.
Thanks to your generosity, we have assembled over 150 winter survival packs and have boxes upon boxes of warm clothes and baby gear for folks struggling to stay warm, and keep their families warm, this winter. Now it’s time to distribute all these fabulous donations!
Below is our current winter survival pack schedule. For each of the distributions, we will meet 15 minutes beforehand in the downtown lobby of 655 W. Broadway to schlep and carpool, but you are also welcome to meet us there.
-
Wednesday, Dec. 10th @ 6 pm Distribution of packs and baby bags at downtown winter shelter.
-
Thursday, Dec. 18th @ 6 pm Distribution of packs and baby bags at veterans’ winter shelter.
-
Wednesday, Jan. 7th @ 6 pm Assembly of 2nd phase packs and baby bags at Coughlin Stoia,

Saturday, Jan. 31st @ 1 pm Distribution of packs and baby bags at Neil Good Day Center.
If you haven’t joined us before, please consider coming out; it’s an eye-opening and moving experience. It’s also a great opportunity for kids to get involved in a service project.
We are launching a homeless art project this year, headed by Noor, and we will be bringing a photographer to put a face and name on homelessness — let us know if you’d like to get involved with this art project.
Also let us know if you can donate hot food for any of the distributions. Last year, homemade cookies brought BIG smiles to the faces of homeless vets.
If you would like to hit the streets with GTT but none of these dates work, please tell us; we are committed to making sure everyone who wants to become involved absolutely can.
Finally, if you would like to collect donations at work, your neighborhood coffee shop, school, or church, download this flyer to post and to distribute widely. We are happy to arrange pick ups for any donations.
Happy holidays from your friends at GTT!
