Urgent question for people in San Jose, CA, area

[tblue]

I'm sure you know it's FREEZING outside! I am very concerned about the homeless people out there in the cold. I have a bunch of coats to give but I don't know where to take them.

Does anybody know where I can take donations so that people will get them tonight?

There are social service organizations that I can give them to, but they distribute goods only to the people who make it to their organizations. There are many folks who cannot and/or will not get there tonight.

I predicted yesterday this would happen, but when I heard 3 homeless people died last night of hypothermia in San Jose, I felt responsible for not doing anything. I tried to find a place to take them, but I just couldn't.

If you know where I can drop off these items, please let me know.

Many thanks!

1. If you take them directly to the homeless shelters,

the volunteers will make sure they go to people who weren't able to make it in to them...
