On February 6, 2024, Project Give donated $4200 to Akron Snow Angels for Operation Stop Frostbite to purchase hand and feet warmers. Akron Snow Angels spreads warmth and connects with the most vulnerable in our community by providing basic essentials and fostering compassionate friendships while inspiring others to do the same. Twice a month from November through April, Akron Snow Angel volunteers go on “missions” to homeless camps and areas surrounding shelters to #SpreadTheWarmth. They provide around 250 lunches on each mission, as well as gently used winter clothing & toiletries that have been donated. Akron Snow Angels use donor dollars to fulfill requests for winter items they do not have in stock such as tents, sleeping bags, winter boots & coats.

As we gather to support the vital work of Akron Snow Angels, Susan Flowers opens with a poignant letter written by one of the many men and women they assist each winter. This letter is a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the daily struggles faced by those without stable housing in our community—a reality that underscores why our support is so critical.

“I check the homeless helper Facebook page to see that there is a free concert at one of the churches so I will get warm for a few hours. I will also try to apply for some jobs but the first question is my address and phone number. I got neither of those. Dinner at the Peter Lawrence Center on S. Main. Three miles each way but I'm still grateful. Off to the concert at Trinity Lutheran then to my encampment. I crawl into my sleeping bag hoping
