On Thanksgiving weekend, eight-year-old Rose and her mom Sherri delivered meals to a homeless encampment in Atlanta, GA. While there, several people asked if they had blankets so Rose and Sherri gave away the two blankets that they kept in the car for family outings. Then with tears in her eyes, Rose asked her mom if they could go and find more blankets. Months later, Sherri and Rose are still out there trying to help meet the needs of their unhoused neighbors. They now call their effort Blessing Bags of Warmth for the Homeless, and to date, they have helped over 1,000 homeless individuals in the Atlanta area.
