YOUR DONATIONS AT WORK: DECEMBER 2024
In December 2024, we provided help to 512 Defenders after following up on 531 requests. We distributed 6,378 items, including 4,315 chemical hand and foot warmers. Other delivered items included 182 individual first aid kits (including tourniquets, chest seals, hemostatic bandages); 588 protective equipment items (knee pads, earmuffs, camelbacks); 442 tactical gear items (vests, backpacks, canteens, duffels); 790 uniform components (including tops and bottoms, boots and hats); 61 optical devices and other specialized items.
The large quantity of the SFSU-branded hand- and foot-warmers were manufactured in fall as a custom order, and distributed in packs of 5-10 to help Defenders cope with cold winter weather. (You can see one such pack in the photo of a Defender on the left.) Thank you to our generous community of supporters and volunteers, who are keeping supplies flowing where they’re needed.
