Do you have like an hour to help pack SurvivalPaks for the homeless in Detroit? We'll be delivering all 200 packs the following Saturday! Would LOVE to see you at the packing party!

We are done delivering brand new winter coats, gloves, scarves, knit hats, thermal underwear, thermal socks, hand warmers and food to the homeless. Four hours of driving around the neighborhoods and quite literally handing them out one at a time to the homeless. No big groups, no houses filled with 30 people, we searched and found the one-off’s, which is what I always prefer to do. Some people were so grateful they had tears in their eyes, many of them put on the hats and coats immediately. I love Detroiters and love that all of you help us continue to do this, month after month, for nearly 13 years now. (No pics since it was just myself and my cousin Michael on this delivery).

A couple of us will be hitting the streets today on a "mini-delivery" to hand out new warm winter coats, gloves, hats, scarves, thermal underwear, thermal socks, a small bag of food and dozens and dozens of hand warmers.

Yes we did just deliver 100 SurvivalPaks and 100 warm winter coats last weekend, but we will also be doing an emergency mini-delivery of cold weather supplies to the homeless tomorrow afternoon before the brutal weather hits this weekend.

The Congregation of Every 1 gives away, for FREE, over $15,000 a month in supplies, so about $180,000 worth of free supplies to the homeless on the streets of Detroit each year.
We accept no government funding, are zero overhead, and 100% volunteer and always need your financial help.

The reality is that is was bitter cold out today during the The Congregation of Every 1 delivery. We got to retreat to a warm van, but even the 10 or 15 minute we spent outside of the van caused our hands to burn and sting from the cold. We came upon a dozen houses in Del Ray with no heat or utilities. We found dozens of people taking shelter inside of a bus station. We met a man with a section of his skull removed, which caused his head to seem to have a massive "dent" in it. We found many dogs, outside, that we had Milk Bones for. We met a man in a wheel chair in his seventies with everything he owned hanging off of that wheel chair. Others told us they were hoping we'd come back to them (we've provided SurvivalPaks to them in the past). The main thing we learned was the coats, the brand new, super warm, puffer coats, we invaluable. We had people take off the insufficient coats they had on, and put on these new, warm coats the moment we handed them to them. We did have one man in a walker, take off his existing coat, try on our new coat, and tell us to keep the new coat and give it to someone who really needs it (way more empathy than so many people I've met who live in actual houses). It's only going to get colder this week, hopefully the coats, and winter hats, and scarves, and gloves and handwarmers we gave out today help a little. THANK YOU to everyone who helps us do this, month after month, for the past 13 years.
