Featured Story
Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency
"Snuggle Sacks - Survival Kits for the Homeless gave a warm hug to those attending Project Connect this November organized by the Out-Wayne County Homeless Services Coalition. Thank You from Wayne Metro to all who donated contents and time assembling the 200 sacks that went to homeless and precariously housed individuals and families."

Frank
Frank is a homeless veteran who requested we not share his picture. Frank is embarrassed of his situation, and the judgement that comes with it. Frank lost his wife and young son to a car accident 10 years ago, and had a hard time with the losses. Thus began a downward spiral of losing his job, which in turn led to his homelessness. With a lack of resources available, he has found himself homeless for some time now, and was very thankful to receive a Snuggle Sack. He first grabbed the bottle of water, saying "any water I can get my hands on means I can bathe. I may be homeless, but I try very hard to not look that way. Water can keep my hydrated and clean."
Featured Story
Chantel
When we first met Chantel at a soup kitchen in Flint, she was timid and quiet. We could tell she had a need for a Snuggle Sack, so we approached her, and just put it on the table she was sitting at. She didn't look inside for quite some time. As she finished her meal, her and her friend peered into the sack and immediately began to get emotional. The first thing she grabbed was a pair of socks, and a smiled ear-to-ear.
Now more comfortable to talk, she sat down with us and explained that the items she saw in that Snuggle Sack instantly gave her hope. The most important items needed for survival were right in front of her. "The toiletries, hygiene items, snacks and food, hydration products, things to keep us warm, things to keep us dry are so hard to come by. On top of that, it is good quality stuff - really shows that someone cares about us in a time when depression takes over and you feel nobody does. We are so thankful for Snuggle Sacks and the heart of these kids."

Catholic Charities
A regular distribution outlet for Snuggle Sacks, Catholic Charities sees homelessness and the effects of the lifestyle on a daily basis. "The most simple daily items for most people are the hardest to come by for the homeless, and the most needed for their health and well-being. Snuggle Sacks provides those items that can get them through when they are fighting the elements - weather, hunger, illness, and in turn offer them something even more valuable - HOPE!"
