Twisted Dreams Radio along with the help and support of many individuals and businesses in the community are coordinating a donation drive to directly benefit the homeless in Boston.
Starting last summer, Twisted Dreams Radio started collecting nonperishable food items and personal hygiene products. Taking all the donated items, TDR would put together care packs to be handed out on the streets of Boston. As time passed support for the cause had grown and more people became involved. Green Side Up Gallery has always collected nonperishable food items at their shops in Allston, MA and Providence, RI and donates them to a local church’s food bank while offering donors a discount in their shop for their generosity. GSU was the first company to offer support to help the donation drives by providing the donated canned goods to the cause. Anonymous donors even got involved and supplied a surplus of personal hygiene products for the care packs.
During the month of November, Medible Hashtracts and a large group of individuals from the cannabis community coordinated a donation drive for the homeless and TDR was happy to get involved with their cause. A few days before Thanksgiving a giant pack of stoners walked through Boston Common distributing 100 wool blankets and an overwhelming amount of care packs to the homeless soliciting in the park. The overages were then donated to the local VA Shelter.
Inspiration and hope spontaneously erupted along social media with others wanting to get involved. TDR set up another drive this month focusing on collecting hats, gloves, and socks to be distributed to the homeless in Boston. There have been over 250 pairs of gloves and hats donated already. Green Side Up Gallery has offered to be the drop off location for anyone interested in making donations, as well as extending a 15% discount to those who donate.
On December 21st, TDR plans to meet with all the volunteers at KOP’s memorial bench in Boston, Common at 6pm to begin distributing the care packs. Please, feel free to get involved and volunteer! You can reach out to offer your assistance to: contact@twisteddreamsradio.com
