With the help of #SpeakeasyPrintshop in #Salem, we will be providing 75 unhoused folks in #Boston and #Cambridge with hooded sweatshirts in order to help prepare our community for the fall and winter months ahead. We got a really good deal on the sweatshirts, but this still cost us $1000. We still have some funds left, but it would be awesome if some folks in our community had some money to spare to help us recoup. While sweatshirts will be a huge help to people, the winter months are the most draining on our budget. We do what we do on ~$400/month. If you have some money to spare, please consider donating to Warm Up via our #kofi. #WarmUpBoston #ServeThePeople #SurvivalProgram #MobileDistro #EncampmentSupport #Solidarity #Community #MutualAid https://ko-fi.com/warmupboston

Yesterday morning we provided folks in the downtown area with the services we provide. This time around we went out with ~70 sandwiches, water, Gatorade, capri sun, cereal bars, and some clementines. We also provided folks with tissues, body wipes, socks, mouth wash, and deodorant. For the first time ever, someone who saw what we were doing donated $35 to keep up the good work. If you happen to follow this account, thanks again!

This work gets done the correct way by having your feet on the ground, engaging with the people, and hearing their needs.

We had yet another successful mobile distro earlier today. We handed out 32 sandwiches (tuna and PB&J), 2 cases of water, roughly 60 pairs of socks, deodorant, hand wipes, and almost an entire box of nail clippers. We could have used more sandwiches. Folks have said some other services that walk around haven’t been coming around for a couple weeks now, so many people were happy we came.
Capitalism claims to improve the quality of life, but we say it only improve the quality of life of CEOs and their shareholders. It certainly isn’t improving the life of the people we serve. #WarmUpBoston #ServeThePeople #SurvivalProgram #MobileDistro #EncampmentSupport #MutualAid

This is a combo post of our encampment distro this past thursday and mobile distro from yesterday. It has been great starting new projects and branching out to help more people.

Thank you so so much to everyone who has been donating, it has done so much to make this work possible. If you would like to help but can't make it to our distros, you can donate to our ko-fi in our bio. #WarmUpBoston #ServeThePeople #EncampmentSupport #MobileDistro #SurvivalProgram #MutualAid

Warm Up hasn’t done a mobile distro since the early days. We decided we had enough volunteers to start covering more ground and finally living more up to our name. We handed out turkey and Swiss sandwiches, water, cookies, and harm reduction supplies to folks in the Downtown Crossing area. We learned that our sandwiches were better than the bologna ones that they get from other groups and got to meet a quite a few folks in that area. We’re looking forward to expanding our work to other areas of the city. Expanding our work also means, we need donations coming in. We get a lot of donations in the winter, but not nearly as much in summer. If you have a few dollars to spare, consider buying a t-shirt or donating to our Ko-Fi.
