The opioid and homelessness crisis in Kensington Ave, Philadelphia, PA are on the rise. There are many resources and free clinics the campers can reach out to, and unfortunately, some aren’t able to get the help they need. Until they do, they are camping on the streets with limited supply and resources.

Every item held a story …
Each garment carried weight of confidence, opportunity, and growth; all of which I was privileged to carry 12 XXL bags from one place to another.

Giving our love to Kensington Ave. 2023 ❤️
Thank you to everyone who donated to support Our Love Collaboration in giving our love to Kensington Ave! We're so grateful and encouraged by the amount of clothes, hats, scarves, coats, jackets, gloves, and blankets we received this past winter (2023).
A quick note: shelters are currently unable to accept used blankets, but new blankets will be included in our winter essential bags.
All clothing and winter essential donations were dropped off at The Wardrobe in Philadelphia, which provides well-maintained, professionally displayed clothing — from casual wear to workwear — for people facing barriers to employment and independence. The remaining donations go to Prevention Point, which serves thousands of people experiencing homelessness and substance use disorder each year.
