Surviving the elements can be challenging for people experiencing homelessness.
Each season has its own safety concerns, as extreme weather can significantly impact a person's health and well-being. By having access to a seasonal survival kit, homeless individuals will have the essentials to survive outside or in a shelter.
With severe temperatures, people experiencing homelessness are at extreme risk of exposure-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, frostbite, and hypothermia.
By donating a survival kit you can provide a homeless individual with essential basics to survive the elements. Please choose a gift from our wishlist and change the life of a neighbour in need. Please give a GIFT today!
This campaign is designed to provide charities across Canada with the items they need to help them create impact for their causes and their communities.
