Many don’t realiz e just how great the need for warm clothing truly is. Local agencies such a s JHS and CMHA report that individuals have already been reaching out for w inter essentials that are in short supply. For those experiencing homelessn ess, the challenges are even greater — when their clothing becomes wet, the y often have no access to dryers or warm spaces to dry it, forcing them to abandon the garments altogether.
