Thank you so much for your warm-weather donations to people experiencing houselessness in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood! We were able to share the donated items with the Afghan Cultural Society ahead of the storm. Nasreen Sajady, cofounder and advocacy director of the Afghan Cultural Society, and a two-time Auggie alum, shared with us how they are seeing an influx of guests looking to find shelter from the cold, secure warm weather gear and water, and use the bathroom since the closure of the local encampment. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and support. Auggie proud 🙂
