Jean's Angels partners with organizations to distribute essentials and holiday gear
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)–Jean's Angels, in partnership with Subaru and Operation Warm, held a coat and shoe giveaway in North Charleston on Saturday due to the drastic freezing temperatures.
Hundreds of residents begin lining up outside the North Charleston Sports Complex at 6 a.m., ready to be the first to receive many essential items and gifts, such as jackets for kids, shoes, bed lining, blankets, towels, gift cards to Texas Roadhouse, and many more.
Crews with Subaru donated over 500 jackets for the Subaru Loves to Help initiative. The campaign helps bring hope and confidence to people experiencing homelessness and urgent need situations.
It's a task officials said they're glad to be a part of to help better serve the community
'It makes me feel amazing because we know we provide much-needed essential items to those who need them in the community. So, bring a smile to a child's face with a jacket. Their parents get a brand-new sheet of towels. I mean, it's fantastic, and anything we can do to make a difference in a community, that's what we're about,' said Katrina Carpenter, the founder of Jean's Angels.
Officials said if you missed the event and still need a jacket and essential items for your child, please direct message Jean's Angels on social media for further assistance.
