Today, we had three volunteers. Julia and Akira prepared sandwiches and handed out clothing and food on Mass Avenue, where Jeff Lane joined us.

We handed out 75 winter hats, 125 pairs of gloves, 100 pairs of socks, 25 women's underwear, 50 scarves, 150 hand warmers, 25 jackets/sweatshirts, and rain/snow ponchos.

We had three types of sandwiches: peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and fluff, and turkey and cheese. The most popular choice was peanut butter and fluff.

We assisted 115 individuals and arranged referrals for detoxification. We also helped an individual who had overdosed, connecting with Boston city outreach personnel who supplied us with Narcan.
