Today was quite the long day, but my goodness was it a good one.
As always, a huge shout-out to the volunteers who came out for the pre-packing and distribution; you all make it happen month after month!! 162 bags headed out all around Austin this time around. Donations came in from all over the place, like from local Austinites in the form of HotHands hand warmers to multiple bags of clothes to men's and women's shoes galore!!!

Thanks so much to the 10 volunteers who came out for the pre-packing and the 12 for the distribution. For the 1st time in a very long time, we actually prepacked outside; it was such a beautiful day!!!
All the love to Foundation Beyond Belief , Freethinkers Association of Central Texas , and I Support the Girls - Austin , of the national I Support the Girls , for their continued support. Most of all, we want to give a big thank you for all the people who have contributed over the last month, from those donating to fundraising campaigns, to those showing up with clothes, water, sleeping bags and more, all of your efforts and generosity does not go unnoticed. The effects of Prop B were definitely in play for our October giveaway, as the artificial displacement caused a decentralization of the normal folks we serve each month. Nevertheless, we had 13 volunteers pre-pack 220 bags the day before and 17 volunteers to distribute items at our main locale under the I-35 bridge.
