What We Do
Our Mission
Oftentimes, those experiencing homelessness feel degraded, unwanted, and invisible while in public. Emma’s Winter Bundles’ mission is to do everything but that - we want to brighten the days of people living on the street or in shelters by handing out bags (bundles) filled with various goods to help keep people warm in the harsh winters and have a full stomach. We want to show them that people care about them, too. Additionally, we work with sports teams, community groups, and other volunteers to help them get involved, raise awareness about this ongoing homelessness crisis, and advocate for what more needs to be done to help resolve it.
