You will not believe what happened. . .
During the Holiday Season, Temple Station participated in “Operation Warmth “a project gathering warm coats with the intention of providing warmth to the homeless population of Los Angeles County.
7 Year old Temple City resident Kayla and her family heard of the project. Kayla and her family have been advocating for the homeless by providing food and assistance to those they saw in need. Kayla had a wish for homelessness to end, and after seeing a homeless person in the cold wanted to at a minimum to provide the warmth of a blanket. Kayla said she did not want gifts for her birthday, instead she asked for blankets for the homeless. Kayla’s mother contacted the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant Kennison, who organized the Operation Warmth Project for guidance on how to proceed.
Temple Station would like to help fulfill Kayla’s birthday wish for blankets and we need your help. We are asking for you to bring in a new or clean used blanket to Temple Station 8838 Las Tunas Drive in Temple City so we can get them packaged to donate to local homeless shelters under the “Kayla’s Kovers” project. Also useful would be hygiene items, such as tooth brushes, small toiletries, and knit caps. Please bring your donation to Temple Station by March 2, 2016.
There is still empathy in the world, and sometimes it takes children to take the lead and make things happen. Let’s move a mountain of blankets.
