The Angel Network has launched a campaign to provide homeless care packs to ensure people living outdoors have some form of comfort and warmth.

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (18 May 2021) – We don’t mean to be alarmists, but winter is truly on the way! With that comes the realisation that there are many out there who will need to suffer through the long cold nights with little protection.

The Angel Network has launched their annual winter campaign to provide warm care packs to homeless people within their regions. The care pack is designed to be compact all the while providing warm to the person who receives it.

Each care pack contains a sleeping bag, pillow, blanket and warm meal (usually in the form of soup packets). Each pack needs only a small donation of R360.00 and it will last the recipient an entire winter season and beyond.

“It’s that time of year where many of us get cosy under our electric blankets or warm ourselves with hot water bottles and thermal underwear. Sadly, for hundreds of thousands of people, the approach of winter is terrifying when home is a park bench or a piece of cardboard on the pavement. Please help us provide some comfort to so many so that they too can feel cosy, warm and remembered during the coming cold months.”

If you would like to support the Angel Network in this warming initiative, you can find all the details below.
