Winter Emergency
For families suffering from food insecurity, lack of clothing, and little to no shelter, winter is not just an unwelcome challenge, but a threat to survival.
That’s why we’re working to provide families this winter with food, clothing, blankets, and shelter, both domestically and internationally. These items can help families stay warm, fed, and safe during the bitter cold. Since 2016, the Penny Appeal international family has been providing customized winter packs to address the different needs of families across the world. In Chicago, we’re providing hand warmers and jackets for the homeless, and in Syria distributions include critical fuel to heat their tents and cook their food. The items may vary across countries, but the overall goal to bring warmth and comfort remains the same.
Last winter, Penny Appeal was able to help 20,330 people thanks to all your winter charity, Alhamdulillah! Your heart-warming generosity provided real warmth to vulnerable people in frightful situations, eased their suffering, and brought hope to those who truly needed it.
Providing Warmth since 2016.
