“Tonight is the coldest night of the year thus far, and the risks of frostbite are serious. Volunteers from United Hatzalah left their homes in order to help the homeless get a little bit warmer and protect themselves against the cold. The reactions which we received were incredible. The people who received the blankets thanked us profusely, and many tears were shed by both the recipients and those distributing the blankets.”
