As you indicated, you work with other organizations. I see that one initiative the Vancouver Police Department does is “Sox in the City”, which donates socks to homeless people.
I come from Saskatchewan. I'm a chiropractor. The chiropractic profession in Saskatchewan has an annual drive called “Toasty Toes”. Chiropractors get their patients to bring in socks for homeless people and to assist throughout the year. In Saskatchewan we get pretty cold at times, so it's obviously helpful for those in need.
Do you take time to try to make connections with an organization that would look at something like that to assist you?
