Greetings Thinkers!

We are gearing up for our 4th Annual donation drive for San Diego’s homeless and need your help.  Would you consider putting up a bin up at work, your child’s school, neighborhood coffee shop, or place of worship for donations such as gently-used sleeping bags, blankets, tents, tote bags, warm clothing, shoes, new socks or undies, beanies, gloves, toiletries, feminine products, and non-perishable foods?  We can send you a flyer to post and are happy to arrange pick ups for any donations collected.  Let us know by emailing girlsthinktank@gmail.com.   

Upcoming Schedule for Distributing Winter Survival Packs to Homeless Community

We need your helping hands in getting the much-needed supplies out to the streets!  Please join us at one of these events:

• Looking for a hands-on service project for you and your family to help give back this holiday weekend?  Meet us at 2 pm on Saturday Nov. 28th at corner of 16th St. and Island Ave. downtown.  We will distribute Winter Survival Packs, serve pizza, and take surveys of people living on the streets to see if they have access to the basics (water, food, shelter, toilets, etc.) in San Diego. 
• Help us honor our homeless veterans this holiday season!  Meet us at 5:45 pm on Wednesday Dec. 16th in the lobby of 655 W. Broadway to help load up and car pool to the winter vet shelter located behind Goodwill in Point Loma (3663 Rosecrans St.).  We will distribute Packs, books, other critical supplies, and would love to bring home baked cookies if we have volunteers to make them again this year. 

Email girlsthinktank@gmail.com for more details or directions.  Let us know if you can bring hot food or other supplies.  Last year, homemade brownies brought BIG smiles to the faces of the vets.  

GTT Coalition on Homelessness

We are building a coalition of individuals, city officials, community leaders, and organizations who share a vision of a city that cares for and responds to the needs of the homeless.  We are planning a campaign kick off for citywide access to the most basic needs – water and toilets.  Please join us Thursday, Dec. 3rd at 6 pm at the law firm of Coughlin Stoia, 655 W. Broaway, 19th floor.  Pizza will be provided.  Please RSVP by emailing girlsthinktank@gmail.com.    

We look forward to seeing you this Winter!

Your Friends at GTT
