It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that Warm the West Side will be closing this year. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, and one that comes after much reflection and thought.

With your unwavering support, we’ve raised nearly $10,000, assisted over 15 shelter organizations, distributed hundreds of care packages, and warmed the lives of over 3,000 individuals by providing them with winter socks, gloves, hats, and blankets.

If you’d like to continue contributing to our cause we ask that you donate directly to the shelter organizations in your area or those we’ve supported in the past: Goddard Riverside, Project Renewal, Covenant House, New Alternatives, West Harlem Residence, Trinity Place Shelter, the Jewish Board, or Coalition for the Homeless.

I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you who has contributed time, resources, or support. Your generosity has made all the difference in the lives of so many. To everyone who has been part of this journey, thank you. I, along with the thousands of people we've supported, am eternally warmed and grateful. ❤

Thank you to all those who supported Warm the West Side this year! Thanks to your generosity, we were able to donate 960 winter bundles, including a winter hat, socks, and gloves and 144 thermals to 6 different shelter organizations. We’re extremely proud to share that this winter was the most successful and “warmest” winter in the history of WTWS and we hope to share that same sentiment again next year. Remember that while it might not be as cool in these next few months those experiencing homelessness will have other struggles and please support where you can.

This past Tuesday night, I, along with friends, members of the WTWS Leadership Team, and thousands of other volunteers participated in the annual NYC HOPE Walk.
For those who don’t don’t know, every January, thousands of volunteers across the five boroughs participate in NYC’s annual Homeless Outreach Population Estimate (HOPE). Over a single night, volunteers canvass streets, subway stations, parks, and other public spaces across the city to identify individuals who are experiencing street homelessness. We began the survey at 12am and finished around 3am. It is not our responsibility to completely solve homelessness but it is our duty to take steps to solve it.

I attended the Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day program organized by Urban Pathways and Care For the Homeless on Wednesday. Where we read the names of 300+ people who died this year due to their housing status and remembered the thousands more whose names we don’t know. One statistic that came up time and time again was that a person who is unhoused has a shorter life expectancy than a housed person by 20/25 years. May all their memories be for a blessing and may we know a day where housing is no longer a factor in whether someone lives or dies.
