“It has been dangerously freezing outside this winter, and making sure people are safe in the elements is the most essential task we have, Without the generosity of Give Warmth - Give Hope, we could not provide such remarkable life-saving supplies to the most vulnerable population. I am so thankful for your kindness and aid in serving these individuals.”
Let’s take a look at the numbers!
A few packages ready to go!

Corporations and Foundations that led the way:
Corporate leadership played a vital role in helping Bay Cove achieve our fundraising goals by leveraging resources, networks, and expertise.
