and that means I wanted to give a heads up that i will be begging for donations of Hats, gloves,canned goods, backpacks etc but figured i might as well give heads up for people to start looking in closets and pantries!
I am also in need of shelving for all the loot i am collecting so if you have or see any at g...arage sales..etc...hook us up! please and thank you! have a wonderful day! ♥
Most of this blog is now dedicated to the homeless project i have been doing. started this in 2007 by cruising around to find the Highway Men, what i call the men who live under the highway passes. In 2008 i bugged people i know and don't for food and clothes as its expanded to anywhere I meet a homeless person on the streets..so yea i just drive around looking for people then ask them if they need any help. these are some of stories. I continue this in 2010 and into the 2011 season.

Detroit Burners without Borders collection box at Decomp
(Thank you to Beaker for posting this!)
It might be hot in Cali (stop posting your triple digit temps on
facebook already!) but it's starting to get cold here in Michigan. And
many of our fellow residents don't have the basic necessities we take
for granted -- things like warm shelter, clothing and food. For the
past couple years, Detroit Burners without Borders has been handing
out hundreds of backpacks filled with necessities to the homeless in
Detroit... and doing it in true Burner gifting fashion -- with a smile
and a conversation while treating the recipient as a person rather
than a mere transaction. Won't you help?!
Detroit BwB will have a collection box at this weekend's Decomp,
probably at the greeter's station. We're looking for:
* backpacks
* warm gloves, socks, hats, hand-warmers
* emergency blankets
* canned food, can opener
* granola/cereal bars, juice, other small food packages
* toiletry packs
Remember that every little bit helps and together we can make a
difference! (geez, that sounds so trite but it really is true)
Thank You,
Beaker.
