The fight against the cold is real. This year, the Anderson Homeless Task Force created the "A Little Warmth Wishlist" on Amazon to quickly mobilize critical gear—things like emergency blankets, thermal socks, and hand warmers—for individuals sleeping outdoors.

How you can help:

• 1. Visit the Wishlist: A Little Warmth Wishlist (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/57KFU9JRW3YJ?ref_=wl_share)
• 2. Select an Item: Items are chosen specifically for maximum warmth and durability.
• 3. Checkout: Amazon sends it directly to us for distribution!

Thank you for helping us provide "A Little Warmth" and a lot of hope.
