Sleeping Bag Project
For the past five or six years, I have been making and donating sleeping bags. I bring them to the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, a registered non profit 501(c) 3 organization. They in turn provide the bags to homeless men, women and children throughout Long Island, NY.I try and make up to 20 sleeping bags a year.
It is know as The “Sleeping Bag Project”. This is not a club, but “individuals and groups desiring to help the homeless by making simple emergency sleeping bags from recycled fabrics and distributing them FREE to people who are cold on the street.” Their only purpose “is to help the homeless be warm until they can be helped or healed by others in our society.” Denise Hawryluk
