Earlier this week the Community Kitchen put out a plea for donations of hats, gloves, coats, blankets and coffee. Due to the plunging temperatures, the nonprofit opened their doors as an emergency shelter for homeless people and families.

Today, we took some hats, gloves, coffee and oatmeal to the Community Kitchen and got an update on what they need. In addition to winter clothing, coffee, soup, oatmeal and sugar, they have a long list of current needs after the jump.
