Just One Sweater
Mission:
In 2019, we started #justonesweater. Where did this idea come from? On one of my many business trips to Kalamazoo, Michigan, I met a young boy (Samuel) who has been collecting thousands of blankets for the homeless Samuel's Blankets for the Homeless. I came home thinking - we need to do something here in Anne Arundel County, even if it was Just One Sweater!
- Year One (2019) - 500+ sweaters, hoodies, and fleeces collected and distributed.
- Year Two (2020) #justonesweater crushed our goal of 1,000 sweaters….we hit close to 8,000!
- Year Three (2021) Over 10,000 articles of warm clothing were collected and distributed.
- YEAR FOUR - 2022 is underway! We are excited to announce we are an official 501c3 now.
Just One Sweater serves pantries at Eastport United Methodist Church, Heritage Baptist Church, Asbury United Methodist Church, Mt Zion, Taylor Heights Elementary School. Distribution will also take place at Annapolis Gardens, Bay Ridge Gardens, Stanton Center, The Light House Shelter, and locations in Howard and Baltimore City.
