Essential Needs Care Packages for Those Experiencing Homelessness
We are writing to you from the Brown Muslim Students’ Association, located in Providence, RI, looking to help an especially vulnerable population of those experiencing homelessness this winter season.
Those who give, out of their own possessions, by night and by day, in private and in public, will have their reward with their Lord: no fear for them, nor will they grieve [2:274]
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected those experiencing homelessness across the country. Given the on-and-off lockdowns and social distancing guidelines, homeless individuals are experiencing high rates of COVID-19 exposure, lack of donations, and little community support. As the weather grows colder, the situation becomes more dire. For that reason, we are requesting your support to donate towards essential care-packages for those experiencing homelessness in Providence, RI.
