“Warmth on the Footpaths” New Year Blanket Support for the Homeless Poor

Winter is the harshest season for people living on footpaths.
As cities celebrate the New Year, thousands of homeless individuals continue to sleep under open skies, exposed to freezing temperatures with no protection.

Gramin Sudhar Avam Shramik Sewa Sanstha (GRASS) is initiating the “Warmth on the Footpaths” campaign to provide warm winter blankets to people living on footpaths and open public spaces.

This campaign is dedicated to supporting:

• Homeless individuals sleeping on footpaths

• Unemployed daily wage workers without shelter

• Elderly persons, women, and children exposed to extreme cold

A warm blanket can mean the difference between survival and serious illness during winter nights.

🎯 Who We Are Helping

This campaign focuses on the most vulnerable people living on footpaths, including:

• Homeless men and women

• Elderly people with no family support

• Unemployed and destitute individuals

• Children living with homeless families

These individuals have no access to shelters or adequate winter clothing and are at high risk during extreme cold conditions.

⏳ When We Need the Funds

We aim to raise funds before the New Year, so that blankets can be purchased and distributed during the peak winter period (late December to early January).

Timely support will allow us to:

• Procure blankets in bulk

• Organize safe and dignified distribution

• Ensure immediate relief during the coldest nights

💰 How We Plan to Use the Funds

All funds raised through this campaign will be used transparently and responsibly for the following purposes:

• Purchase of good-quality winter blankets (₹700 per blanket)

• Distribution to 500 homeless individuals living on footpaths

• Transportation and logistics for blanket distribution

• Basic documentation and monitoring of the activity

Every ₹700 contributed will provide one warm blanket to one homeless person.

🤝 Our Commitment

We are committed to:

• Fair and need-based distribution

• Maintaining dignity and respect for beneficiaries

• Sharing photographs and impact updates with donors

This New Year, let us come together to ensure that no one is forced to sleep in the cold on our streets.

Your support can turn a cold footpath into a place of warmth and hope.
