snowfalls in november

pretty much anyone who is reading this has already received the following message in their email inbox - but i am gonna post it just in case.

oh, and i faggot to add longjohns and other layer-able clothing items to the list... but i am sure y'all get the picture.

***********

humans!

the cold and damp are here to stay.

and so, it is time to gather warm things to take to the Triage shelter
where my dear friend jef has been working for years and years. i will
be gathering the items and taking them down to Triage.

the homeless peoples need your stuff!!

please make sure that any donations you bring to me are clean and
ready to be passed on to someone at the shelter.

here is what we are looking for - for both men and women:
- jackets
- coats
- rainwear
- boots
- warm shoes
- pants
- sweaters
- sweatshirts
- scarves
- mittens
- gloves
- earmuffs
- umbrellas
- sleeping bags
- blankets
- new warm socks (still in the package or with tags on)
- new underwear (still in the package or with tags on)

This year I will also be accepting cash donations which i will spend
buying whatever items jef feels the shelter is most in need of this
winter (i.e. buy 10 sleeping bags - or 50 pairs of underwear). so, if
you have nothing at your house to donate - give me $10 and i will make
it go as far as i can during an excursion to zellers or army and navy
or whatnot.

please take a look through your closets and see if it is time to pass
that jacket you never wear on to someone else. give me any scarves you
have knit but have never given away.

you guys are awesome. let's help keep some peoples warm this winter.

call me or email me to make arrangements to drop things off at my
house or work or to arrange for me to pick things up. if you have any
questions, let me know.

much love,
