Dear GlobalGiving Community,

We are writing to share our first quarterly update on our “Winter Relief for 200 Homeless Families in US” campaign. Since launching this project, we have raised $75 from two generous donors. While we are still in the early stages of fundraising, our commitment remains urgent and unwavering: to help families and individuals facing homelessness survive the harsh winter months with warm clothing, hot meals, and access to safe shelter support.

Progress This Quarter:

This quarter, our primary focus has been on laying the foundation to deliver winter relief as soon as funding becomes available. Our team has been preparing to:

• Identify the most urgent winter needs in our local community (coats, hats, gloves, blankets, and warm layers)
• Coordinate outreach and distribution planning so that support can be delivered quickly during severe cold periods
• Strengthen local connections and referral pathways to help individuals access emergency resources, including available shelter options.

Because this project is in its launch phase and funding is still limited, we have not yet reported large-scale distributions under this GlobalGiving project this quarter. As donations increase, we will begin documenting distributions with photos, receipts, and field updates.

Community Impact Focus:

Winter is not just uncomfortable for people without stable housing—it can be deadly. Freezing temperatures increase the risk of hypothermia, frostbite, and other cold-related illnesses, especially for children, seniors, and individuals with underlying health conditions.

What we see again and again is that a warm coat, a blanket, and a hot meal can be the difference between making it through the night or not. Beyond survival, winter relief also restores dignity. When someone receives warm clothing and a nourishing meal, it communicates a simple truth: you are not forgotten.

Looking Forward:

In the next quarter, we will intensify our fundraising and outreach so we can begin scaling direct winter support. Our priorities include:

• Expanding donor outreach and campaign visibility to accelerate fundraising
• Beginning and/or expanding winter distributions as funds allow
• Providing transparent documentation (photos, receipts, and updates) to show how every dollar is used
• Encouraging recurring giving to sustain support throughout the coldest months

With gratitude and determination, A A Relief Team
