We pass by the homeless on the streets... sometimes we avert our eyes because it is painful to see them... sometimes we reach out a hand--giving to help. The fact is, they need our help more than anyone, and they are living on the streets, through extreme, dangerous cold weather.
It began one frigid dark winter evening a number of years ago. My sister was out late finishing some last-minute Christmas shopping and saw a man in a thin jacket standing with a sign that said "Will work for food...Homeless". She had a warm heart but was pragmatic and thus unwilling to give cash, so she drove through Burger King, bought a meal, drove where he could see her, honked her horn and held the bag out the window... and he ran, tripping and falling, but picking himself up, and he gratefully tried to grasp the paper bag with cold bare hands made even colder by his tumble in the icy slush.
She related this incident and it made me cry...more importantly--it made me think at length about the fact that while I wasn't rich (or anything remotely resembling rich) I was blessed with enough... food, a home where I could lay my head, and warm clothes. Our family has always filled each other's Christmas stockings with little goodies, so I decided that for every gift I bought and gave I would buy a new pair of gloves, a scarf or winter cap and give it the homeless.
That's how Warm Hand was born and quickly became a year-round project. No matter how little the Christmas gift that I gave was, it had to be matched by a Warm Hand gift. Even in the lean years, I gave a little less so I could give that little more.
