Keeping the Homeless Alive

CTV News

This is the 8th year The Bargains Group is helping the homeless stay alive in the winter, with Project Winter Survival.

Volunteers came to 890 Caledonia Rd. on January 17th to pack donated backpacks with thousands dollars worth of products donated by our generous suppliers, our community and clients. These items included socks, hats, gloves, toothpaste and toothbrushes, a bottle of water, a food item and much more.

Project Winter Survival raised over $30,000 to buy sleeping bags which will accompany the packed backpacks which will be given out on January 24th. On this day, all these kits will be distributed to over 90 front line agencies which will then get them to the homeless in hopes of getting them to shelters.

Project Winter Survival needs your help.

This is the 8th year of Project Winter Survival.  Jody Steinhauer of The Bargains Group has been organizing volunteers and putting together the homeless winter packs.  This year the program has hit a snag.  In the past Hockey for the Homeless has provided partial funding through a tournament that helps raise money and awareness for people without a warm place to stay.  This year the donor has had to pull out leaving the program scrambling for donations.   Normally the kits’ contents are assembled in November and December for distribution to social agencies in January.   Project Winter Survival is now asking for your help to meet their goal.  If you can donate to this worthy cause please call The Bargains Group at 416-785-5655.  The Bargains Group is located at 890 Caledonia Rd.
