Due to the economic crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the poverty rate in 2020 increased for the first time in 5 years. Currently, 37 million, or 11% of all Americans are living in poverty and struggling to afford basic necessities.

Shelter from the elements is a basic human need along with nourishing food, drinkable water, and a safe place to sleep. Proceeds from the purchase of this Tee provide coats, hats, gloves and hygiene kits to the homeless right here in America.

Who needs a coat?

  1. 1 in 6 children in America is living in poverty. Poverty in children increased from 14.4 in 2019 to 16.1% in 2020.

  2. The National Center for Homeless Education reports that 1.5 million students enrolled in public school districts experienced homelessness during the course of the 2016-2017 school year.

  3. Cold weather makes the body work harder, putting stress on the heart to ensure the body stays warm.
  4. Children are unable to regulate their body temperatures as adults do. They can quickly develop hypothermia without protection from the cold.

  5. Victims of hypothermia are often: older adults with inadequate food, clothing, or heating, children and babies, and those who remain outdoors for long periods.

  6. A 2015 study found up to a 31% increase in heart attacks in the coldest months of the year compared with the warmest.

  7. Exposure to cold predisposes people, especially children, to infections like pneumonia.

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”―Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
