Dear Partners:
It is really, really cold outside especially at night. The residents of TC3 are feeling it even more than we are. Please consider providing them with chemical hand warmers and blankets to help them keep warm.

Comforters, blankets, warm throws, hats, gloves, jackets and sweaters all help to keep the cold at bay.

Chemical hand warmers can be purchased at Costco by the case for a very reasonable price. The residents use these while providing 24 hour security duty and have also learned to tuck them inside pockets while sleeping to help keep warm.

Other good things are canned or packaged soup, coffee, hot chocolate, anything that can be warmed up and keep folks warm from the inside out can help to chase the cold away.

If you, or anyone you know can help with these items this week, please do so.

Stay warm and be well,
Mary
