The Window of Kindness served a record number of visitors in the days leading up to the Christmas holidays. Seeing more than 70 individuals experiencing homelessness per day reaffirmed for our staff and volunteers the necessity of the Window as a space of care and connection.
Our volunteers distributed donated winter survival essentials–gloves, hand warmers, coats, blankets, and gift cards; and for our holiday meal, we were able to share cheer with favorites such as baked ham, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese.
We had over 210 points of contact with unhoused neighbors who stopped by seeking compassion and essentials. Thanks to many small acts of generosity from our community, we were able to meet some of their most pressing needs for warmth, food, and friendly conversation.
Our community continues to prove that we won’t leave our neighbors behind. The Window stands ready to meet anyone in need with empathy and action. Here’s to spreading more compassion in 2024.
