We are heart broken with what is going on at Christina Park and in times like these we often feel so helpless but also even more eager to do more. Our mats are not the answer but they sure are appreciated and wanted by so many. The Bags2Mats team went out on the last day residents could be in the park. Many were getting situated with very temporary housing which may only last a few weeks and then they will be back on the streets. When you are homeless you don’t take what you can’t carry and you must prioritize. Mats could not be distributed fast enough. Something so simple. Someone’s trash. But also, someone’s love and volunteer time.
As the need continues to grow, so does the need for community support and volunteers. Please consider joining us tomorrow in New Castle, to help us sort soft plastics so we can be in a better position to make more mats. Please see flyer for details.
