2nd Annual Holiday Hoodie Drive!
Hoodiepeople.com is pleased to announce the start of Holiday Hoodie Drive 2009. Last year’s Holiday Hoodie Drive was so successful that we’re really excited to be doing it again this year. With the help of our customers, staff, and a couple local businesses hoodiepeople.com was able to collect close to 100 second hand hoodies for St. Anthony’s Foundation in San Francisco. This year we’re going to make an even bigger push to increase the amount of hoodies donated by offering discounts up to 25% on hoodiepeople.com, thowing a 1 Year www.hoodiepeople.com Anniversary Party where you can donate, and placing donation bins in as many local businesses as possible. So, we’re aiming for the amount of hoodies donated to at least double.
Here are some useful links and more information about the incredible work that St. Anthony’s Foundation offers in San Francisco. Everyday around lunch time they prepare warm meals for a line of over 1,500 homeless that literally streches around the block. They also offer a free medical clinic, free clothing, rehabilitation services, and many other social services. So, dropping off our warm and comfy hoodies is just drop in the bucket considering how many resources are actually needed. But, everybit helps and staying warm during the cold winter months helps prevent illnesses for homeless families with young kids as well as single men and women.
If you are interested in donating a hoodie this year please send them directly to St. Anthony’s Foundation CHP 150 Golden Gate Ave. 94102 Attn: clothing. All donations must be in good condition and laundered. For more information about the 2008 Holiday Hoodie Drive you can read last year’s blog post. You can also email us at team@hoodiepeople.com to get linked up with this years drive.
