By the grace of God I will be joining many other volunteers in our winter street outreach. From October to April we will spend at least one night a week on the streets of Springfield to be sure that no one is left in the cold to die. This will be our 4th year in Springfield and plan to add at least on day for Palmer. Our goal is to save lives and bring help to the homeless. Armed with food, hot coffee, blankets, jackets, hats and love, we comb the streets to be sure no one is left out in the cold. If they are willing we will get them to a warm place for the night like a hotel or Springfield shelter. If they choose to brave the elements we offer them warm clothing and blankets. The hope that has been offered by these selfless volunteers has saved many lives and convinced many to give up their life on the streets.
If you would like to help, check your closets for warm blankets, jackets, hats and gloves that you are no longer using and call our office at 413 304 2112 or email at Jack@milestoneevents.org so we can arrange a convienent delivery location.
Or.....even better......Pray!
No one should die in the cold!
